The Price of Smiles

On a planet far, far away from Earth, there reigns a kingdom overflowing with smiles.

Princess Yuki is twelve years old and beginning to ride the roller coaster of emotions that comes with adolescence. Each day brings with it tears, laughter, and even a little romance. The palace is full of fun, and the vassals who serve her there add color to her life.

Seventeen-year-old Stella is a brilliant warrior. Even though she is cool as a cucumber, she never fails to smile. That's because smiling is essential to life.

This is a story about two girls born on a distant planet.

[00:02] Yuki
    This is a tale of a girl born
    on a planet far, far away.
[00:25] Joshua
    I was wondering where
    I might find you, Princess Yuki.
[00:32] Yuki
    Joshua!
[00:33] Joshua
    The time has come.
    You should begin the preparations.
[00:41] Joshua
    Ow!
[00:41] Yuki
    Quit acting all cool. It's not like you.
[00:44] Yuki
    Don't tell me you're nervous.
[00:46] Joshua
    I beg your pardon.
[00:48] Joshua
    It's not like you to be scared, either!
[00:52] Yuki
    H-How rude!
[00:54] Yuki
    I'm not the slightest bit nervous...
[00:57] Joshua
    Don't worry.
[00:59] Joshua
    Miss Layla and I will be with you.
[01:01] Joshua
    Right?
[01:03] Yuki
    Yes!
[01:09] Joshua
    You sure have grown, Yuki.
[01:12] Yuki
    Thank you.
[01:14] Yuki
    You're still really short, though, Joshua.
[01:17] Yuki
    Even though you're 15,
[01:18] Yuki
    you should be all grown up, right?
[01:20] Joshua
    Yeah, yeah.
[01:21] Joshua
    If you can still insult me
    like that, you must be fine.
[01:43] Layla
    Magnificent.
[01:45] Layla
    You've memorized the words
    of the ceremony, then?
[01:48] Yuki
    Y-Yes, Miss Layla!
[01:51] Layla
    Good. Then let us proceed.
[02:24] Joshua
    Were you injured, Princess Yuki?
[02:27] Yuki
    N-No! I'm fine.
[02:31] Yuki
    I'm totally—
[02:36] Yuki
    Th-Thank you...
[02:42] Yuki
    Um... U-Um...
[02:45] Joshua
    Passion and will, Yuki.
[02:49] Joshua
    Everyone's waiting to hear from you.
[02:51] Joshua
    Go on and nail it.
[02:59] Yuki
    People of the Special State of Hariant,
    home of our royal family.
[03:03] Yuki
    I am grateful that you all
    came here for me today.
[03:09] Yuki
    I have turned twelve years old today.
[03:13] Yuki
    I vow to assume more responsibility
[03:16] Yuki
    and guide you all to ever greater prosperity!
[03:29] Yuki
    Kingdom of Soleil, be eternal!
[03:32] All
    Be eternal!
[03:41] Layla
    It was a questionable start,
    but you recovered well.
[03:45] Layla
    Well done, Your Highness.
[03:49] Yuki
    Thank you, everyone!

[03:55] News
    And now, our next story.
[03:57] News
    The government has announced that
    a new kind of chrars in development
[04:00] News
    has reached the practical utility stage.
[04:05] Court
    Princess Yuki, happy birthday.
[04:08] Court
    To celebrate your special day.
[04:10] Yuki
    Yes, I leave it in your hands.
[04:13] Court
    Princess Yuki.
[04:14] Court
    Princess Yuki.
[04:15] Court
    Princess Yuki.
[04:17] Yuki
    In your hands!
[04:18] Yuki
    In your hands!
[04:19] Yuki
    In your hands!
[04:20] Yuki
    In your hands!
[04:21] Yuki
    In your hands!
[04:23] Yuki
    I'm exhausted!
[04:24] Joshua
    Things certainly seem more
    prosperous this year.
[04:28] Layla
    They've likely heard the rumors
    of the new chrars,
[04:31] Layla
    and are all eager to
    get it for their own domain.
[04:36] Joshua
    A new chrars?
[04:39] Yuki
    Then why don't we send each
    of them a little sample?
[04:42] Yuki
    Is it ready for that yet, Miss Layla?
[04:44] Layla
    Its development status was in
    the report compiled by Advisor Izana.
[04:49] Yuki
    I-I couldn't finish it...
[04:51] Yuki
    I was just so focused on my
    speech for the ceremony...
[04:54] Layla
    I will no longer treat you as a child.
[04:57] Layla
    From now on, you must earnestly
    engage in the business of rule.
[05:02] Yuki
    What's this?
[05:03] Layla
    Today's assignments.
[05:05] Layla
    Revised budget for the term, drafts of
    legislative revisions, and related materials.
[05:11] Layla
    Look through all of them by this evening,
    and mark them approved.
[05:13] Yuki
    No way! My fingerprint will be worn off!
[05:16] Layla
    And as of this afternoon,
    you'll be participating in parliament.
[05:18] Layla
    Please finish your lunch by two o'clock.
[05:23] Joshua
    C-C'mon, Miss Layla's only thinking of you...
[05:27] Yuki
    Joshua!
[05:30] Joshua
    Seriously, Yuki?
[05:32] Yuki
    Indulge me! We'll be back with time to spare!
[05:46] Yuki
    Father, Mother...
[05:49] Yuki
    Are you watching me?
[05:51] Yuki
    I'm twelve years old now.
[05:54] Yuki
    I'm all grown up, see?
[05:55] Yuki
    So don't worry about anything.
[05:57] Yuki
    I'm going to do this right.
[05:59] Yuki
    I'll see my princess duties
    through and make you proud.
[06:07] Yuki
    So please, watch over me from heaven!
[06:12] Joshua
    I'll be here to keep Princess Yuki safe.
[06:17] Kid
    Huh?
[06:18] Kid
    Hey, that lady looks like Princess Yuki!
[06:21] Kid
    Let's go look!
[06:23] Kid
    Yeah!
[06:24] Joshua
    That's not good!
[06:25] Joshua
    We have to leave!
[06:37] Joshua
    Hold perfectly still. Don't move.
[06:43] Joshua
    They're gone.
[06:45] Yuki
    Y-Yeah...
[06:47] Joshua
    Okay, let's get back to the palace—
[06:49] Voice
    Your opponent is requesting a match.
[06:51] Voice
    Will you join the battle?
[06:54] Yuki
    A theurgear game?
[06:55] Joshua
    Looks like it. Let's go.
[06:57] Voice
    Beat ten opponents in a row and win a prize.
[07:00] Yuki
    Joshua!
[07:02] Yuki
    Please!
[07:04] Spectator
    This one's pretty good.
[07:06] Spectator
    He's almost to nine in a row!
[07:10] Joshua
    Passion and will!
[07:11] Yuki
    Get 'em, Joshua!
[07:14] Harold
    He never does fight pretty, does he?
[07:16] Yuni
    And he calls himself a
    member of the Royal Order?
[07:22] Joshua
    Heck yeah!
[07:23] Joshua
    Just one more to go!
[07:25] Yuki
    Go get 'em, Joshua!
[07:27] Yuni
    Joshua Ingram of the Order.
[07:29] Yuni
    Lone son of the venerable Ingram family.
[07:33] Yuni
    You expect to protect Princess Yuki
    with such meager talents?
[07:38] Joshua
    Who are you?!
[07:38] Voice
    Fight!
[07:45] Harold
    So close, yet so far.
[07:51] Izana
    We have a last-minute change to the agenda.
[07:54] Izana
    Let us first examine the report from
    Grand Master Harold Miller of the Royal Order.
[07:59] Harold
    Secret talks with the Empire of Grandiga
[08:01] Harold
    took place three days ago
    near the Wister border.
[08:06] Yuki
    What did they have to say?
[08:09] Harold
    They seem amicable.
[08:11] Harold
    We should be able to renew
    the non-aggression pact without issue.
[08:16] Yuki
    Excellent work.
[08:17] Yuki
    Oh, right, Harold.
[08:19] Yuki
    Pass these on, won't you?
[08:22] Yuki
    They're the birthday presents
    everyone brought for me.
[08:26] Yuki
    Unlike our kingdom, I hear
    that the Empire has poor soil,
[08:30] Yuki
    and that the people there are struggling.
[08:34] Harold
    Indeed...
[08:35] Yuki
    Please offer them these gifts
    as a token of our friendship.
[08:39] Yuni
    If I may be so bold,
    could I make one comment?
[08:43] Yuki
    What is it?
[08:44] Yuni
    Your Highness, just what
    do you think the Empire is?
[08:49] Yuki
    They're our neighboring country.
[08:51] Yuki
    You're supposed to help your neighbors
    when they're struggling, aren't you?
[08:54] Yuki
    We need to get along.
[08:56] Yuni
    One more question, then.
[08:57] Yuni
    What do you think of
    the state of this country?
[09:02] Yuni
    The monarchy was adopted as a necessary evil
[09:05] Yuni
    when our ancestors first came to this planet.
[09:07] Yuni
    The environment was still
    unforgiving back then,
[09:09] Yuni
    and the people sought a symbol
    to give them strength.
[09:13] Yuni
    But now, we have strong roots in this world.
[09:18] Yuni
    The monarchy is a relic of the past.
[09:20] Yuni
    Some might say that
    it is no longer necessary.
[09:23] Yuni
    We will manage the negotiations
    with the Empire.
[09:26] Yuni
    Kindly stay quiet and let us do our jobs.
[09:28] Joshua
    You! How dare you insult the princess?!
[09:37] Yuki
    Who are you?
[09:39] Yuni
    Yuni Vanquish.
[09:40] Yuni
    I serve the margrave of the State of Wister.
[09:44] Yuki
    Yuni, I understand why
    you feel the way you do,
[09:48] Yuki
    but as a member of the royal family,
[09:51] Yuki
    and as the daughter of my
    late father and mother,
[09:53] Yuki
    there are things on which
    I will not compromise.
[09:56] Yuki
    I want to make everyone in this kingdom—
[09:58] Yuki
    to make everyone on this planet smile.
[10:01] Yuki
    To accomplish that, I think there
    must be things that only I can do.
[10:06] Yuni
    And what are those?
[10:07] Yuki
    Oh, I actually don't know yet!
[10:10] Yuki
    You'll help me think of them,
    won't you, Yuni?
[10:14] Yuki
    Hey, what kind of place
    is the State of Wister?
[10:18] Yuki
    I've never left the city!
[10:25] Yuni
    I respect your decision, Your Highness.
[10:30] Yuni
    I apologize for my insolence.
[10:32] Harold
    I must apologize,
[10:34] Harold
    and I ask that you forgive her, for my sake.
[10:36] Lune
    "Put Princess Yuki's character to the test."
[10:40] Lune
    That was the order we
    received from our master.
[10:44] Yuki
    Oh, it's no problem.
[10:47] Yuki
    Are you...
[10:48] Lune
    Indeed, I am Yuni's twin brother.
[10:51] Lune
    My name is Lune Vanquish.
[10:53] Lune
    I brought them to the
    capital at my discretion.
[10:56] Lune
    I believe their piloting skills are a
    match for any member of the Order.
[11:01] Yuki
    Isn't that just great, Joshua?
[11:04] Joshua
    Yes.
[11:09] Harold
    Don't you do anything besides work?
[11:12] Harold
    Come out with us for once.
[11:14] Harold
    You haven't paid a proper visit
    back home either, have you?
[11:17] Harold
    Think about your poor wife.
[11:18] Izana
    Don't worry about me.
[11:20] Izana
    You should focus on teaching
    your subordinates some manners.
[11:24] Harold
    Joshua wasn't happy, was he?
[11:28] Izana
    Of course he wasn't.
[11:29] Izana
    He and Princess Yuki practically
    grew up as brother and sister.
[11:34] Izana
    They both lost their parents, too.
[11:38] Izana
    Twelve years ago,
[11:39] Izana
    while developing the new chrars.
[11:42] Izana
    That incident...
[11:44] Izana
    The energy source which makes our
    civilization possible, chrarslapis,
[11:48] Izana
    is a special ore that can
    only be found on this planet.
[11:51] Izana
    The dedication of the late royal
    couple to keep their people fed
[11:56] Izana
    led to attempts to develop more
    efficient forms of chrars.
[11:59] Izana
    But...
[12:01] Harold
    It's ironic.
[12:02] Harold
    That hope of theirs was
    the death of both of them.
[12:06] Izana
    Listen, about Joshua...
[12:09] Harold
    He won't listen to anything I say.
[12:12] Harold
    I can't stop him.
[12:13] Izana
    Harold.
[12:14] Harold
    I'll fulfill my duty.
[12:18] Harold
    What about you?
[12:21] Harold
    How many of the new chrars can
    you prepare before we head out?
[12:25] Izana
    Three.
[12:26] Izana
    I'll have them sent
    the minute they're finished.
[12:29] Yuni
    What do you want?
[12:31] Joshua
    You insulted the princess—insulted Yuki.
[12:35] Joshua
    I'm going to make you pay!
[12:45] Layla
    I win.
[12:48] Layla
    Please try a bit harder next time.
[12:50] Layla
    Chess is an excellent way to
    nurture strategic thinking.
[12:53] Yuki
    Is that something I need?
[12:55] Layla
    You are technically
    the ruler of this country.
[12:58] Layla
    Everything you learn will
    help you in that cause.
[13:02] Yuki
    Yeah, yeah...
[13:04] Izana
    Princess Yuki.
[13:09] Yuni
    Two against one?
[13:10] Yuni
    You must not think very highly of us.
[13:12] Lune
    Let's use capture the flag rules.
[13:14] Joshua
    Bring it on.
[13:17] Yuki
    A duel?
[13:18] Yuki
    Did Joshua make the challenge?
[13:20] Izana
    Yes.
[13:21] Izana
    It's merely a mock battle in the simulator.
[13:23] Izana
    It's part of their training, but...
[13:26] Yuki
    But why would he do that?
[13:31] Harold
    Good morning.
[13:32] Harold
    We've prepared you a front
    row seat, Your Highness.
[13:42] Yuki
    Joshua...
[13:45] Joshua
    If anyone hurts Yuki, I'll make them pay!
[13:49] Yuki
    He's doing this for me?
[13:51] Yuni
    Don't come crying to me later
    if you don't like the result.
[13:54] Voice
    Now displaying battlefield.
[13:56] Yuki
    To...
[13:58] Layla
    "Tokyo." A city located on our old homeworld.
[14:03] Yuki
    It's all blocky and ugly.
[14:06] Harold
    A simple explanation of the rules:
[14:08] Harold
    The team that seizes the other's flag wins.
[14:11] Voice
    Makeup of each team's theurgear platoon:
[14:14] Voice
    One Gard.
[14:16] Voice
    Two Squires.
[14:18] Voice
    Two Krivanovs.
[14:20] Voice
    No time limit.
[14:22] Voice
    Visual range combat.
[14:24] Voice
    All units except the leader unit
    will be controlled remotely.
[14:28] Harold
    Both sides, begin!
[14:31] Joshua
    Let's go!
[14:32] Joshua
    Act fast and win!
[14:34] Joshua
    Follow me!
[14:39] Joshua
    Let's see... leave one unit
    in front of the flag...
[14:43] Joshua
    And the other...
[14:45] Joshua
    What a pain in the neck!
[14:51] Yuni
    Three enemy units approaching.
[14:54] Yuni
    Smog?
[14:55] Yuni
    How by-the-book.
[14:57] Yuni
    Lune, how are the traps coming?
[14:59] Lune
    All in place.
[15:00] Lune
    Leave it all to me.
[15:01] Yuki
    Two against one?
[15:03] Yuki
    That's not fair!
[15:04] Harold
    That's how Joshua wanted it.
[15:06] Harold
    He wants to overcome
    the handicap to prove his skill.
[15:19] Joshua
    Y-Yeah, that figures...
[15:22] Joshua
    But I won't make it easy!
[15:44] Yuni
    Two units withdrew, eh?
[15:50] Yuni
    Lune, you handle things over there!
[15:59] Lune
    One unit down, two to go!
[16:09] Lune
    That's just one... a decoy?
[16:14] Joshua
    Secret's out already?
[16:15] Joshua
    Then let's go for it!
[16:18] Yuni
    I anticipated this.
[16:21] Joshua
    Yeah, yeah.
[16:23] Joshua
    Then I'll just have to force my way through!
[16:36] Joshua
    Need to get that one first...
[16:57] Joshua
    M-Make it in time!
[17:03] Lune
    Aside from the leader unit,
    there should be two enemies left.
[17:07] Lune
    Proceed with caution!
[17:09] Yuki
    Darn it!
[17:09] Yuki
    It's two on one!
[17:11] Yuki
    I can help him, can't I?
[17:14] Harold
    As you wish.
[17:15] Yuki
    Joshua, can you hear me?
[17:17] Joshua
    Y-Yuki?
[17:19] Yuki
    Stay underground and keep moving south!
[17:21] Yuki
    That should get you around behind their flag!
[17:23] Joshua
    Right!
[17:24] Joshua
    W-Wait, this position is perfect...
[17:27] Yuki
    Perfect? For what?
[17:30] Joshua
    Give me a break already!
[17:32] Yuki
    I don't have a choice.
[17:33] Yuki
    Harold, pull up a diagram of that building.
[17:37] Harold
    As you wish, but what are you...
[17:42] Harold
    I see...
[17:45] Lune
    No defenses?
[17:46] Lune
    No resistance, either?
[17:48] Lune
    What in the...
[17:49] Yuki
    Harold! Now!
[18:01] Lune
    Can they do that?!
[18:03] Izana
    Impossible. The flag...
[18:05] Layla
    ...was buried?
[18:06] Yuki
    Now our opponents can't get it.
[18:07] Yuki
    Problem solved, right?
[18:09] Yuki
    Harold, we have one more
    ally machine, don't we?
[18:13] Yuki
    I'm going to use that.
[18:15] Harold
    Understood.
[18:37] Yuki
    Joshua, can you hear me?
[18:38] Yuki
    Everything's ready up here!
[18:40] Joshua
    Roger that! I'm on my way!
[18:51] Yuni
    That sound...
[18:54] Yuni
    What?!
[18:56] Izana
    Water's flowing out from underground?
[18:58] Harold
    Yes. The unit working on
    its own must have set it up.
[19:03] Harold
    That culvert was likely used to
    channel the city's waste water.
[19:07] Harold
    Joshua destroyed one of the weirs.
[19:10] Harold
    The underground area quickly flooded,
[19:12] Harold
    and the only way out for the water was...
[19:17] Joshua
    Passion and will!
[19:21] Yuki
    That's what Joshua was after?
[19:23] Harold
    And you happened to tilt that
    tower to a perfect angle.
[19:28] Harold
    But it's no surprise you're so in sync,
    seeing as you grew up together.
[19:34] Joshua
    Heck yeah!
[19:44] Harold
    The winner is Team Joshua.
[19:46] Harold
    The training is now over.
[19:53] Layla
    Are you certain about this?
[19:55] Layla
    Permitting the Royal Order
    to go to the border...
[19:58] Yuki
    Yes.
[19:59] Yuki
    Harold said we should send a delegation
     to the Empire out in the open this time.
[20:05] Yuki
    See?
[20:10] Yuki
    See you later, Yuni, Lune!
[20:13] Joshua
    Well, I should be going, too.
[20:16] Layla
    Joshua is a part of the delegation, as well.
[20:20] Layla
    The list was in the documents
    I gave you earlier, I believe.
[20:23] Yuki
    No way!
[20:24] Joshua
    Yuki!
[20:31] Joshua
    It's a bit belated,
[20:33] Joshua
    but I wish you a very happy birthday.
[20:40] Yuki
    Quit acting all cool.
[20:41] Yuki
    It's not like you.
[20:43] Joshua
    Hey!
[20:45] Yuki
    This is an order from your princess.
[20:47] Yuki
    Show her the outside world in my stead.

    Are you sure about this, Joshua?
[23:05] Joshua
    Yes.
[23:06] Joshua
    I will protect Yuki's smile...
[23:09] Joshua

    Grand Master Ingram,
[00:21] (Flashback) har
    would you join us for dinner tonight?
[00:23] (Flashback) har
    My wife has been wanting to see Joshua.

    Your father served nobly

    It appears Princess Yuki is fond of you.
[01:17] (Flashback) iz
    You will live in the Royal Palace

[01:20] (Flashback) iz
    You must make Princess Yuki smile.

[01:24] josh
    As my father's son,
[01:26] josh
    as a man of House Ingram,
[01:29] josh
    I swore that I would protect her smile.
[01:35] josh
    Let's go.

    We're arriving in the theater of operations.
[01:38] aud
    All units deploy.
[02:02] aud
    Dracorn Unit, Monocherous Unit,
    take the right wing.
[02:04] aud
    Gigarth Unit, Fantazma Unit,
    take the left wing and fan out.

    We believe it to be
    the Imperial 8th Area Army.
[02:45] james
    There's no place more crucial to
    national defense than northern Wister.
[02:50] james
    This is the only route by which the Empire
    can mount a land invasion on a massive scale.
[02:55] har
    The large canyons throughout the wasteland
     provide a natural stronghold,
[03:00] har
    so the enemy has merely been
    biding their time until now.
[03:03] har
    If they manage to break through,
[03:04] har
    the war will spread quickly
    throughout the kingdom.
[03:07] har
    We're at a critical moment.
[03:08] james
    Main cannons, fire!
[03:17] josh
    Keep calm.
[03:18] josh
    Just do it like in training.

[05:16] lay
    Unlike us, the Empire of Grandiga
    does not practice chivalry.
[05:21] lay
    Thus, they lack a chivalric order.
[05:23] yu
    What? Really?
[05:25] lay
    Yes.
[05:26] lay
    A state in which the military elite

    This was a recon operation

    You've got a real precious side, you know.

    The fact that war has broken out
    between us and the Empire...
[07:38] josh
    Yeah.
[07:39] josh
    I can't imagine how sad
    she'd be to learn about it.
[07:43] josh
    I hope she never has to know,
    so that she can just keep smiling.
[07:49] josh
    Yuki will always be a symbol
    of peace for our kingdom.
[07:52] josh
    Keeping her from harm is
    our duty as retainers.
[07:57] yuni
    Understood.
[07:58] yuni
    We must hold the enemy off here.
[08:02] josh
    I look forward to working with you.
[08:03] josh
    It's time to really show

    Sorry. We're not big on the fiery rhetoric.

    This is the signal from Grad,

    That's our lord,
[08:40] yuni
    Margrave Girard.
[08:42] har
    The situation seems to have deteriorated.
[08:45] gir
    Yes.
[08:46] gir
    Our active forces have dropped
    to almost 30% of where they were
[08:51] gir
    when you and the twins left
    for Hariant ten days ago.
[08:55] gir
    But we're glad to get that
    new chrars you brought.
[08:59] gir
    Yuni, Lune, I'm glad you're both safe, as well.
[09:02] both
    Yes, sir.
[09:03] lune
    We're unworthy of your praise.
[09:05] gir
    I'm counting on you.
[09:11] josh
    If I might offer a piece of advice...
[09:14] josh
    We don't have any time to lose.
[09:16] josh
    I believe it's time to bring out our trump card.
[09:20] gir
    What do you mean?
[09:21] sol
    Keep it moving forward!
[09:23] sol
    Don't jostle it!

[09:29] sol
    Installation complete! Connection confirmed!
[09:32] gir
    Is that the new chrars?
[09:41] josh
    I'm increasing the output!
[09:48] yuni
    He really is reckless.
[09:50] yuni
    Altitude is 70... 75 over
    chrars stability level.
[09:54] james
    Is he trying to break the altitude barrier?
[09:57] james
    It was one thing for the technology
    of the ancient immigrants,
[10:00] james
    but these days, operating an air
    force on this planet is impossible.
[10:04] james
    The chrars stops responding
    and you can't produce energy.
[10:07] aud
    One hundred. Altitude barrier broken.
[10:15] josh
    I-It's no use...
[10:16] josh
    Is that the limit?
[10:18] josh
    Go!
[10:25] op
    Did you see that power?
[10:26] op
    Impossible!
[10:27] james
    So it still won't get us to flight.
[10:30] gir
    But if we could power our entire
    army with this new chrars...
[10:37] har
    I'll install the remaining two
    new chrars into your theurgears.
[10:43] har
    Tomorrow, we'll make the first strike.
[10:45] har
    We're going to get a few licks in, too.
[10:49] josh
    We can do this.
[10:50] josh
    With power like this,
    we have nothing to fear.
[11:00] josh
    It's bad for your health to
    stay up this late, Princess.
[11:03] yuki
    Joshua!
[11:08] man
    Plant them on the hovers and the limb joints.
[11:11] man
    We just need to ground them.
[11:19] josh
    No luck, huh?
[11:22] josh
    I heard our ancestors' planet was
    covered in beautiful flowers, though...
[11:28] josh
    Maybe sunflowers just won't
    bloom on this planet.
[11:32] josh
    I wonder why... Maybe the soil
    just isn't right for them?
[11:35] yuki
    I don't know.
[11:37] yuki
    But Izana told me...
[11:39] yuki
    When Mother was alive, she worked hard
    trying to get these flowers to grow.
[11:46] josh
    I hear you.
[11:47] josh
    I'll look into it, too.
[11:50] yuki
    Really?
[11:51] josh
    Well, I should go. Early day tomorrow.
[11:53] josh
    I'll call you again soon.
[11:55] yuki
    Sure!
[11:56] yuki
    Good luck with your duties, Joshua!
[11:58] josh
    Right.
[11:59] josh
    Good night, Yuki.
[12:01] josh
    Pleasant dreams.
[12:09] yuki
    That Joshua... Has he matured
    some since last I saw him?
[12:13] lay
    Princess Yuki, you haven't moved.
[12:16] yuki
    R-Right.
[12:24] yuki
    That's checkmate!
[12:25] lay
    That's against the rules.
[12:27] yuki
    But in a real battle, people don't
    always play by the rules, do they?
[12:31] yuki
    That mock battle before was so much fun!
[12:33] yuki
    I think I might actually be
    pretty good at that stuff!
[12:37] yuki
    Can I do it again some time?
[12:39] yuki
    Using a theurgear is a lot
    more fun than chess!
[12:43] lay
    War is not a game.
[12:46] lay
    Never forget that.
[12:48] yuki
    Well, of course it's not.
[12:49] yuki
    Even I know that!
[12:52] yuki
    You're weird, Miss Layla.
[12:55] lay
    Did you send the request for a ceasefire?
[12:57] iza
    I did.
[12:58] iza
    But there was no response.
[13:02] iza
    The Empire's territory is vast,
[13:04] iza
    but they don't have
    the resources to maintain it all.
[13:08] iza
    It was obvious that they would try to invade.
[13:10] iza
    To oppose them, we rushed
    the development of new chrars, but...
[13:15] lay
    It backfired?
[13:18] lay
    The empire was waiting for us
    to complete the new chrars.
[13:24] lay
    They chose to invade now
    in order to steal it.
[13:27] iza
    It's pointless to debate about it now.
[13:30] iza
    Our kingdom's future was
    already far from bright.
[13:33] iza
    You were aware of that, too,
    weren't you, Layla?
[13:37] iza
    Every year, our country's soil
    produces lower crop yields.
[13:42] iza
    It wasn't just about boosting our military.
[13:44] iza
    We needed the new chrars to keep
    the people from starvation.
[13:50] har
    The Empire has materiel superiority.
[13:52] har
    But our individual machines have
    superior specs and armaments.
[13:56] har
    Therefore...
[13:57] james
    Rather than continuing this war of attrition,
[13:59] james
    we need to stretch out the front
    and whittle down the enemy forces.
[14:03] har
    This will be the main theater.
[14:05] har
    Six platoons, including Pegasus,
[14:06] har
    and the Margrave's unit will set an ambush,
[14:09] har
    while another unit leads
     the enemy to them.
[14:12] har
    Joshua, that will be your
    Gard's responsibility.
[14:16] josh
    Yes, sir!
[14:17] har
    Just to be safe, Dracorn Unit,
    Monocheros Unit,
[14:20] har
    you'll stand watch over this tributary tunnel
[14:22] dra
    Yes, sir!
[14:23] dra
    Plant explosives on either end.
[14:25] dra
    If we have to, we'll collapse the ravine
[14:28] dra
    and seal off their route into Grad.
[14:31] har
    We'll commence the operation in 90 minutes.
[14:34] har
    All soldiers, take your positions!
[14:36] all
    Yes, sir!
[15:00] josh
    Pegasus 2, safe and sound!
[15:02] peg
    Great job!
[15:03] peg
    Krivanovs, fire at will!
[15:28] peg
    If you're trying to trigger the explosives
    planted on the three theurgears yesterday,
[15:32] peg
    we've already removed them.
[15:35] james
    Using the new chrars as a bargaining chip
    to negotiate a surrender to the Empire...
[15:40] james
    Was that the plan?
[15:41] har
    Why did you betray us?
[15:44] gir
    The fighting over these last
    ten days has made it clear...
[15:47] gir
    The empire is more serious
    than it's ever been.
[15:50] gir
    The new chrars are impressive,
    but three alone won't save us.
[15:54] gir
    I didn't want to see my city
    burned to the ground.
[15:57] gir
    I was willing to face the disgrace of
    betrayal to keep my people alive.
[16:03] har
    Fool.
[16:05] har
    With a mindset so preoccupied with peace,
    you'll never protect anything.
[16:10] yuni
    Lord Girard... why?
[16:13] yuni
    I'll keep Grad safe if it costs me my life.

    Hey, Stella.
[02:43] lil
    Do you know what our commander's doing here?
[02:46] stel
    He was transferred here, wasn't he?
[02:48] lil
    Well, I know that.
[02:50] lil
    But what I meant is—
[02:52] hu
    The rumor that he ignored
    an order from above, right?
[02:55] lil
    No one's talking to you, Huey!
[02:58] pie
    It's an entirely baseless rumor.
[03:01] pie
    Even before the war, our commander
[03:03] pie
    was assigned missions:
    VIP escorts, stamping out terrorists...
[03:06] pie
    He always carried out his
    orders to the letter.
[03:09] brea
    All the more reason for the rumors, I'd say.
[03:13] brea
    How'd a guy like him end up leading
    a squad like ours, y'know?
[03:16] pie
    What do you mean, "a squad like ours"?
[03:18] pie
    Warrant Officer Break, don't you
    have any pride in our squad?
[03:23] hu
    Don't forget, Pierce.
[03:25] hu
    The guy's been a real creep from the start.
[03:28] hu
    Always looking down his nose
    at us one way or another...
[03:31] brea
    Like "I'm way too classy to
    share a tent with you lot"?
[03:35] hu
    That's it! That's exactly how he—
[03:38] lil
    The point is, he's been
    assigned to us for a month,
[03:41] lil
    but we still don't know anything about him.
[03:44] lil
    I don't like putting my life in
    the hands of someone like that.
[03:48] pie
    You feel that way, too, Petty Officer Lily?
[03:51] lil
    What do you think, Stella?
[03:53] stel
    I don't know.
[03:56] com
    On the eastern edge of the State of Caldarth
[03:59] com
    lies a city called Azaria.
[04:01] com
    It's said to be a quiet place
     ruled by a local lord.
[04:04] gail
    What's its significance?
[04:07] com
    According to prisoners we took
    at the Battle of Lorgeth,
[04:10] com
    there's a chance some supplies have
    been left at the local forces' base.
[04:15] com
    But we can't afford to lose
    forces in another battle
[04:18] com
    with nothing to show for it in the end.
[04:21] gail
    You want us to perform recon?
[04:23] com
    It seems the local lord took
    the bulk of his army to guard Hariant.
[04:27] com
    Only a small local force should be present.
[04:30] com
    Infiltration shouldn't be difficult.
[04:34] gail
    That ends the briefing.
[04:35] gail
    We'll depart at 0800 tomorrow.
[04:38] gail
    Any questions?
[04:40] hu
    Sounds like a relaxing change of pace to me.
[04:42] pie
    Petty Officer Huey.
[04:44] pie
    People who say things like that
    tend to be the first to die.
[04:48] hu
    Scary.
[04:49] hu
    Pierce and Break, once we arrive,
[04:51] hu
    you'll stand by in theurgears
     on the city's east side.
[04:54] both
    Yes, sir.
[04:54] both
    Yes, sir.
[04:56] gail
    The rest of us will investigate the city.
[04:58] both
    Yes, sir.
[04:59] both
    Yes, sir.
[05:00] stel
    Yes, sir.
[05:16] gail
    After we scout the location,
    we'll rendezvous here at 2000 hours.
[05:26] hu
    For being out in the boonies,
    they've got some pretty nice stuff...
[05:30] lil
    I knew they were at a different
    phase of industrialization,
[05:33] lil
    but it's still a shock to see it up close.
[05:38] lil
    Hey, that one would look great on Stella!
[05:42] lil
    So would that one!
[05:44] hu
    And Soleil wants to keep all
    of this to themselves...
[05:50] stel
    Yuki Soleil?
[05:52] stel
    She really is still a child, isn't she?
[05:56] gail
    If you had to kill that princess...
[05:59] gail
    what would you do?
[06:02] stel
    I'd kill her if I was ordered to, of course.
[06:12] gail
    Appreciate the patronage.
[06:14] sol
    Thanks for coming by.
[06:19] gail
    So this is their food storehouse?
[06:23] stel
    I certainly hope they've
    left some behind, but...
[06:33] stel
    As I thought, it's all
    been taken out, hasn't it?
[06:36] gail
    Given the state of the conflict,
    it's not surprising.
[06:40] stel
    Are we struggling for other resources, too?
[06:50] gail
    Show yourself.
[06:58] gail
    What are you doing?
[07:00] al
    Mauli!
[07:02] mau
    Alan!

    I'm sorry. We'll be going now.

    Wait. Who are you?
[07:21] al
    We live in the administrative building.
[07:24] stel
    Administrative building?
[07:25] al
    Since no one's using it at the moment.
[07:27] stel
    And you're living there, long-term?
[07:31] mau
    Hey. You guys work for a laundry, right?
[07:34] mau
    What are you doing here?
[07:37] gail
    A friend of ours works in this storehouse.
[07:40] gail
    We thought we'd drop in on him
    while we were on the job...
[07:43] mau
    They took all the food out of here yesterday.
[07:47] mau
    Your friend probably went with them.

    The Order?
[07:58] al
    Let's go, Mauli.
[07:59] gail
    Wait a minute.
[08:01] gail
    The Order would be less likely
    to see you in a truck, right?
[08:10] kids
    One, two... three!

[08:23] girl
    Mauli!

    Who are they?
[08:31] mau
    They're the laundry guys.
[08:33] mau
    They gave us a ride in their truck!
[08:34] boy
    No fair!
[08:35] boy
    How'd things go at the storehouse?
    You find any food?
[08:37] mau
    I found some canned fruit, but...
[08:39] al
    You know we couldn't take it with us.
[08:42] boy
    But the old guy has it.
[08:45] boy
    Look! Look!
[08:50] gail
    I'm a sucker for sweets, that's all.

    You...
[08:53] gail
    Besides, it's close to its expiration date.
[08:56] gail
    It would just spoil if we left it there.
[08:58] gail
    Better to share it among us, I think.
[09:00] gail
    How about you?
[09:07] al
    Let the children have some, please.
[09:12] gail
    All right!
[09:13] lan
    C'mon, Lana! Have some with us!

[09:47] lan
    Papa and Mama bought her for me.
[09:51] stel
    She's important to you, then?
[09:53] lan
    Yeah.
[09:54] lan
    They both died in the war.
[10:00] lan
    Everyone else is the same as me.
[10:02] lan
    They said they brought us
    here because it was safe.
[10:10] gail
    Did you like that?
[10:12] all
    Yeah!
[10:14] gail
    Speaking of which, that Order
    you mentioned before...
[10:18] gail
    Would that be Hariant's chivalric order?
[10:20] kid
    Yeah.
[10:21] gail
    I've never met them before.

    Well, seeing as they're valued clients,

[11:01] kids
    Go! Go!
[11:03] stel
    Hey, Lana.
[11:05] kid
    Not fair!
[11:07] kid
    Hey, let me try!
[11:09] stel
    If...
[11:11] stel
    If you feel like there's nowhere in
    the world where you belong, don't worry.
[11:17] stel
    You'll find your place someday.
[11:21] lan
    Really?
[11:23] stel
    I was the same as you.
[11:27] lan
    Did you find a place?
[11:30] stel
    Yes.
[11:39] lan
    Here.
[11:42] stel
    Thank you.
[11:46] stel
    Lieutenant.
[11:47] lieu
    I can't get in touch with
    Special Ensign Owens.
[11:51] lieu
    He's running an infiltration right now.
[11:53] lieu
    He'll be out of touch until
    his scheduled contact time.
[11:57] lieu
    What's going on?
[11:58] stel
    He learned that the Order are here
    in the base, so he's investigating.
[12:03] lieu
    The Order?
[12:04] stel
    Yes.
[12:05] lieu
    We've just received word from
    the Hariant scouting party
[12:08] lieu
    that the Soleil Army is heading for Azaria.
[12:12] lieu
    A battalion, it seems.
[12:13] stel
    A battalion? Coming here?
[12:16] lieu
    Yes.
[12:16] lieu
    It might be related to whatever
    the Order is doing there.
[12:32] gail
    This is...
[12:36] lil
    A food plant powered by the new chrars?
[12:40] hu
    Just one of 'em is enough
    to run a plant of that size?
[12:43] hu
    Talk about an exponential upgrade...
[12:45] stel
    I suspect the Royal Army is coming to
    carry these provisions to the front lines.
[12:52] Lieu
    Chief of Staff Fleet.
[12:53] Lieu
    What do you recommend?
[12:55] fleet
    At the moment, we can't spare
    the forces to engage the battalion.
[13:00] fleet
    Special Ensign Gail Owens.
[13:03] fleet
    Can you obtain the new chrars
    and destroy the plant
[13:06] fleet
    before the Royal Army arrives?
[13:10] lieu
    What's the matter?
[13:11] gail
    I can.
[13:12] gail
    But it might result in civilian casualties.
[13:15] fleet
    A necessary evil.
[13:17] fleet
    If the food produced by that new chrars
[13:19] fleet
    were to be distributed across Soleil,
[13:22] fleet
    the tide of battle would
    swiftly turn against us.
[13:25] fleet
    The longer the fighting drags on,
    the more our people will suffer.
[13:31] gail
    Understood.
[13:33] fleet
    Just in case, we're sending two
    twelve-gun batteries your way.
[13:38] gail
    You mean...
[13:40] fleet
    If you fail, we'll bombard the plant
    from long range and destroy it
[13:44] fleet
    before the battalion arrives.
[13:48] fleet
    We expect the enemy battalion to
    arrive in roughly three hours.
[13:52] fleet
    Thus, the battery will open fire
    two hours from now, at 2300 hours.
[13:58] gail
    Roger that.
[14:00] hu
    Two hours? Is she insane?
[14:03] gail
    I'll fill you in on the plan on the way.

[14:31] gail

    Who gave that guy command?
[15:29] lil
    The chrars is still running,
    so we need to shut it down first.
[15:33] lil
    We'll need to use both this terminal
    and the one on the installation itself.
[15:39] stel
    Understood. I'll handle that.
[15:41] lil
    I'm counting on you.
[16:13] stel

    You're a Grandiga soldier, aren't you?

    Be extra careful, okay?
[17:45] brea
    I am, chill out.
[17:55] brea
    Watch it!
[17:56] brea
    Are you people nuts?!
[18:06] brea
    Good job, Pierce.
[18:07] pie
    Much obliged.
[18:09] stel
    Commander, we have the new chrars
    and we've set the explosives.
[18:14] stel

    I'm in front of the administrative

    Keep following the plan!

    I'll say this one more time.

    it'll kill everyone here.

    So don't blow it up.
[18:32] gail

    Get in the truck!

    You did an excellent job.

    We were having a little talk, just now...
[21:00] hu
    What if someone had died while
    you were AWOL during the mission?
[21:06] gail
    It's a commander's job to

    Oh, clever.

    The line's been breached at Diatoth.

    Our dead on the northern front
    number approximately 15,000.
[07:37] lay
    A continued struggle will
    simply add to the casualties.
[07:42] yuki
    That's awful...
[07:43] lay
    Lord Harold and Lord Izana are doing all
    they can to keep losses to a minimum.
[07:49] yuki

[07:51] yuki

[07:55] lay
    This is a list of cities that we'll lose

    Please check them over and
    grant approval, if you wish.
[08:07] yuki
    It includes the border city, Leash?
[08:10] lay
    Yes.
[08:17] (Flashback) josh
    That's the city of Leash.
[08:20] (Flashback) josh
    It's where the accident with the new
    chrars took place six years ago.
[08:24] (Flashback) yuki
    So that's where Mother and Father...
[08:28] (Flashback) josh
    Yeah.
[08:29] (Flashback) josh
    But to help wipe away the bad memories,
[08:33] (Flashback) josh
    everyone in the country worked together
    to build a city and a memorial there.
[08:38] (Flashback) josh
    So the dream of the king and queen
    will remain there, now and forever.
[08:43] (Flashback) josh
    Their dream, to make everyone smile!
[08:47] (Flashback) yuki
    To make... everyone smile?
[08:50] (Flashback) josh
    I think you might see that
    dream through some day, Yuki.
[08:55] (Flashback) yuki
    Really?
[08:56] (Flashback) josh
    Yeah!
[08:57] (Flashback) josh
    And I'll be keeping you safe until you do!
[09:03] (Flashback) yuki
    Okay!
[09:10] yuki
    But... if I do this, it will
    save a lot of people, right?
[09:15] lay
    It will allow us to avoid a
    pointless battle, at least.
[09:21] yuki
    I understand.
[09:23] yuki
    I approve the abandonment
    of the State of Caldarth.
[09:37] lay
    I understand.
[09:39] lay
    Leash is important to you, Princess Yuki.
[09:43] lay
    And... to me, too...
[09:47] lay
    Twelve years ago, scientists

    the proud scientists of Grandiga and Soleil
[10:04] (Flashback) king

[10:09] (Flashback) king
    to those of us living now,

    and to our children in the future!

    Pulse rate 50. Blood pressure 95 over 65.
[12:20] (Flashback) doc
    No sign of cyanosis. Breathing is stable.

    PVR has risen to normal levels.

    Don't worry. The princess is unharmed.

    I awoke one month later.
[12:42] lay
    While I was in a coma,
[12:45] lay
    the Kingdom of Soleil had censured
    the Empire of Grandiga with a claim
[12:48] lay
    that the king's death was the result of
    the Imperial Army's reckless behavior.
[12:54] lay
    Diplomatic relations between the
    countries were severed as a result.
[12:58] (Flashback) iza
    Ms. Étoile.
[13:01] (Flashback) iza
    We've accounted for everyone
    who returned safely.
[13:04] (Flashback) iza
    This is the list of those presumed dead.
[13:19] lay
    And so, I lost my family, my home...
[13:25] lay
    everything.
[13:35] (Flashback) iza
    How are you feeling?
[13:38] (Flashback) lay
    Better...

    I invited you here to thank you, Ms. Étoile.
[13:48] (Flashback) iza
    Do you remember her?
[13:50] (Flashback) lay
    That girl...
[13:52] (Flashback) iza
    That is the daughter of the late
    royal couple, Princess Yuki Soleil.
[13:59] (Flashback) lay
    Princess... Yuki...
[14:01] (Flashback) iza
    If you hadn't protected her,
    she would be dead now.
[14:11] (Flashback) josh
    C'mon, Princess Yuki! Bleh!
[14:16] (Flashback) josh
    Princess Yuki! Princess Yuki!
[14:18] (Flashback) iza
    No one knows what to do
    when she gets like this.

    From that day forward,
    I would serve Princess Yuki.
[15:10] yuki
    Miss Layla...
[15:11] lay
    Princess Yuki, I request that you change.
[15:18] yuki
    Hey, Miss Layla...
[15:20] lay
    Yes?
[15:21] yuki
    Did you know that Joshua and I used
    to sneak out together like this?
[15:27] lay
    Did you truly think that I wouldn't notice?
[15:36] yuki
    I wonder what Father and
    Mother would think...
[15:40] yuki
    if they heard about the State of Caldarth.
[15:43] lay
    You chose the lives of your people
    over your personal feelings.

[15:57] lay
    Yes. You are a worthy princess of Soleil.

    I installed the new chrars
    without your permission.
[17:38] yuki
    Why?!
[17:40] har
    To hold the enemy back until
    evacuations were complete,

    power of the new chrars.

    I'm the one who recommended it.
[17:51] iza
    I'll accept any punishment
    you feel appropriate.

    everyone evacuate safely...

[18:08] har
    Yes.
[18:08] iza
    That much is indisputable.

    The plan's a lot of wishful thinking.
[06:24] gail
    We'll kick this off at 0100 hours.
[06:26] gail
    We'll be navigating a forest at night.
    Take care that you don't get separated.
[06:30] huey
    I'm sure we'll be fine.
[06:32] huey
    As long as no one decides
    to run off on his own...
[06:35] gail
    No need to worry about that.
[06:38] gail
    This isn't some cushy operation
    I can trust you to handle without me.
[06:43] gail
    Take those words to heart.
[06:49] huey
    Still can't stand that guy.
[06:51] break
    We still don't know why
    he joined our squad, either.
[06:55] pierce
    I think... it might have been for money.
[06:57] lily
    For money?
[06:59] pierce
    I saw him make a money
    transfer back at camp earlier.
[07:02] pierce
    I was right nearby.
[07:04] huey
    That's not so weird.
    He's probably got family.
[07:08] break
    Or a girlfriend.
[07:10] pierce
    But it was quite a significant amount.
[07:12] pierce
    Even the accountant ended up
    asking who it was for.
[07:16] lily
    What did he say in response?
[07:19] pierce
    He said...
[07:20] pierce
    "I have a battalion's worth of little
    birds waiting for their feed."
[07:26] break
    What the hell does that mean?
[07:27] huey
    It means he's got a lot of stamina,
    if you get what I'm saying.
[07:30] lily
    Yeah, yeah...
[07:30] break
    It must be really something, huh?
[07:33] huey
    What?
[07:33] break
    You know what.
[07:36] huey
    Hey, Lily, hey!
[07:38] huey
    You get what he meant?
[07:55] pierce
    The tributary's in view on the right.
[07:57] gail
    We'll go straight for two more klicks,
[08:00] gail
    then cross the river and start heading west.
[08:13] gail
    Once we're over this hill,
    the bridge should be in sight.
[08:19] pierce
    What is it?
[08:21] gail
    Signal the squads behind us to stop.
[08:24] gail
    You see that?
[08:26] pierce
    A... theurgear?
[08:29] break
    Looks like scrap to me.
[08:31] gail
    It's a makeshift pillbox.
[08:33] gail
    They're hidden inside, keeping watch.
[08:36] huey
    Should we blast 'em?
[08:37] gail
    Make it fast and thorough.
[08:38] gail
    Don't let them report back.
[08:40] gail
    Any other theurgears around?
[08:42] stel
    None.
[08:57] lily
    Right, 12 degrees.
[08:59] lily
    Range, 203.
[09:01] lily
    Angle of elevation, 17... no, 18 degrees.
[09:05] huey
    Okay, I'm on it. Come on back.
[09:29] huey
    Okay, let's head back.
[09:32] lily
    Roger that!
[09:40] huey
    Lily!
[09:56] lily
    Ow!
[10:00] gail
    Is it the leg?
[10:01] stel
    It doesn't appear to be broken, but...
[10:04] huey
    Well, count yourself lucky.
[10:06] huey
    It would've been worse if my
    theurgear hadn't soaked the blast.
[10:08] lily
    You call this lucky?!
[10:10] lily
    If you hadn't sprung their trap,
    this wouldn't haveー
[10:13] lily
    Ow, ow, ow!
[10:15] break
    Well, it's clear you're a
    lucky bastard, at least.
[10:18] break
    You'd have eaten a direct hit
    if you hadn't slipped first.
[10:20] ---
    That again?
[10:22] break
    But this looks pretty bad, doesn't it?
[10:25] lily
    I'm fine.
[10:27] lily
    I've trained for...
[10:29] stel
    Were either of the other
    squads assigned a medic?
[10:31] gail
    Neither of them.
[10:33] gail
    We're supposed to focus on moving forward.
[10:36] break
    There should be a support truck, at least.
[10:39] break
    They could pick her up...
[10:40] lily
    Wait!
[10:41] lily
    I can still fight.
[10:44] gail
    Don't push it.
[10:45] lily
    Really! I'll be fine!
[10:47] lily
    Right, Stella?
[10:49] stel
    The truck will be here soon.
[10:58] lily
    Stella?
[11:00] break
    Guess she doesn't want you holding us back.
[11:02] lily
    That's mean!
[11:04] lily
    I can still fight, really!
[11:06] huey
    Sounds fine to me.
[11:08] huey
    If she says she can do it...
[11:12] huey
    And we can always replace you if you die.
[11:14] lily
    Hey!
[11:15] lily
    You're such a jerk! Ow...
[11:15] huey
    Hey, now!
[11:18] gail
    All right.
[11:20] gail
    Go on, we'll catch up.
[11:33] lily
    Um... thank you.
[11:38] lily
    I'm sorry for the trouble.
[11:44] lily
    So... you know medical stuff, huh?
[11:47] gail
    I've looked after my share
    of injury-prone types.
[11:51] lily
    I guess you would.
    On battlefields and such...
[11:55] gail
    More or less.
[11:57] lily
    Um... why did you join our squad?
[12:01] gail
    How long has it been?
[12:03] gail
    Since you joined this squad.
[12:06] lily
    Two years now.
[12:09] lily
    Stella and I are the only ones
    who've been here from the start.
[12:12] lily
    Huey transferred from
    another squad soon after,
[12:16] lily
    but he was just as green as we were.
[12:19] lily
    We received a lot of mockery and ridicule.
[12:24] gail
    Did the others all die in battle?
[12:27] lily
    Yes...
[12:28] lily
    We went through a couple of replacements
[12:30] lily
    before Warrant Officers
    Break and Pierce joined.
[12:34] gail
    I see.
[12:36] lily
    But... I'm really surprised
    I've lasted this long.
[12:40] lily
    I owe it all to Stella.
[12:42] gail
    You seem to place a lot of trust in her.
[12:46] lily
    I do.
[12:48] lily
    She's saved me time and time again.
[12:51] lily
    Remember when that borderland
    unit started a coup d'etat?
[12:57] lily
    Putting them down was harder
    than anyone expected.
[13:01] lily
    They'd dug in deep with
    an all-out resistance.
[13:04] lily
    In the end, both sides ran out of ammo,
[13:07] lily
    and we had to fight hand-to-hand...
[13:16] lily
    By that point, I was losing
    my will to fight back...
[13:27] (Flashback) stel
    Lily!
[13:29] lil
    Stella had run out of ammo, too.
[13:31] lil
    She had just one option left...
[13:43] lil
    It really surprised me.
[13:46] lil
    That calm and cool Stella
    charged right into danger...
[13:50] lil
    All to save me.
[13:54] gail
    She's always been that way, then?
[13:57] lily
    What way?
[13:58] gail
    I just can't get a handle on her.
[14:00] gail
    She's always smiling that artificial smile...
[14:06] gail
    Have you ever seen one from her?
    A genuine, heartfelt smile?
[14:14] lily
    Good question...
[14:18] gail
    What is it?
[14:19] stel
    We've made it to the bridge.
[14:22] stel
    We'll wait here for the
    other squads to arrive.
[14:25] gail
    Understood. I'm on my way now.
[14:27] gail
    I'll leave it up to you.
[14:29] gail
    If you don't think you'll
    hold us back, come along.
[14:33] lily
    Yes, sir.
[14:34] lily
    W-Wait...
[14:37] lily
    Well... I feel like I said
    more than I meant to.
[14:42] lily
    You're a good listener, Commander.
[14:45] gail
    I'm used to dealing with kids, that's all.
[14:47] lily
    Kids?
[15:03] gail
    We'll push through the forest as a group,
    rushing our target from behind.
[15:08] lap
    I expect to find at least a
    few sentries in the forest.
[15:13] lap
    If we end up in a firefight,
    the priority is for at least one squad...
[15:17] lap
    at least one machine to reach the target.
[15:20] lap
    That's all.
[15:49] lav
    Petty Officer Fourier!
[15:51] gail
    Spread out!
[15:57] lav
    Our squad will draw fire.
[15:58] lav
    You keep going!
[16:00] gail
    Roger that! Thanks!
[16:01] lav
    I'll head for the Order model!
[16:03] lav
    Aja, Upton, follow me!
[16:04] lav
    Guy, Eugen, stay here!
[16:06] all
    Roger that!
[16:11] pier
    There's more ahead!
[16:13] gail
    We'll handle them! Come on!

    Keep going, Craighton!

    Same here! But...
[16:25] eu
    What's wrong?

    I've lost contact with our allies!
[16:28] eu
    What?
[16:30] eu
    That one again...
[16:45] huey
    Hurry it up, Pierce!
[16:50] huey
    Okay, that's two down!
[16:53] guy
    Buerger... Squad...
[16:55] guy
    Buerger Squad, do you read me?
[16:57] huey
    That you, Guy?
[16:59] guy
    Eugen's down.
[17:01] guy
    The rest of us were disabled...
[17:03] guy
    by this one damned machine!
[17:05] huey
    He's down?
[17:06] huey
    Wait, are you telling me Eugen's dead?!
[17:08] gail
    Keep going!
[17:09] gail
    Huey, Break, Pierce!
[17:11] gail
    Don't worry about me!
[17:18] break
    More reinforcements?!
[17:20] break
    Huey, go on ahead!
[17:21] huey
    Roger that!
[17:28] huey
    Guy!
[17:30] guy
    Huey...
[17:31] huey
    Is that the one?!
[17:32] guy
    Be... careful.
[17:34] guy
    That thing's... fast!
[17:47] huey
    D-Damn it!
[18:19] lily
    Stella!
[18:34] stel
    Lily!
[18:44] lily
    You won't hit me with wild fire like that!
[19:04] lily
    It's broken?!
[19:11] lily
    Take this!
[19:24] gail
    Don't move, Lily!
[19:34] gail
    Enough.
[19:35] gail
    Don't bother chasing it.
[19:41] stel
    Thank you, Lily.
[19:43] lily
    I didn't manage to take it out, though.
[19:46] lily
    The way you did back then...
[19:49] stel
    "Back then"?
[19:51] lily
    Never mind.
[19:54] huey
    Looks like you're totally grounded this time.
[19:57] lily
    You looked way worse than I did.
[19:59] huey
    Shut up!
[20:01] huey
    Any left?
[20:02] gail
    We cleared them up.
[20:04] gail
    But the Hirsch Squad took
    major damage all around.
[20:07] gail
    They lost a member, too.
[20:09] huey
    Figures.
[20:11] huey
    Stuck-up bastard, telling me not to die...
[20:17] huey
    But what can you do but laugh?
    It happens over and over...
[20:27] pierce
    The flare!
[20:29] gail
    Looks like the Schaff Squad found their base.
[20:34] break
    They'll begin the main
    assault soon. Let's go.
[20:37] gail
    Lily, you'll wait for the
    support truck this time, right?
[20:41] lily
    Yes, sir.
[20:44] gail
    Your boosters are out, too.
    Can you still fight?
[20:47] huey
    You bet.
[20:48] huey
    Walking or crawling, I'll be there.
[20:51] lily
    Hey, no worries.
[20:52] lily
    We can always replace you if you die!
[20:56] huey
    Telling someone that just improves
    their survival odds, y'know.
[21:01] gail
    Okay, we'll attack the enemy from
    behind to throw them off balance.
[21:05] gail
    Let's go!
[21:06] all
    Roger that!
[21:15] lily
    Back then...
[21:18] (Flashback) stel
    Lily!
[21:25] (Flashback) stel
    Lily!
[21:30] (Flashback) stel
    Lily!
[21:43] lily
    I think that I saw it.
[21:46] lily
    Stella's genuine, heartfelt smile...

    Thank goodness! You're finally awake!
[00:14] yuni
    Hey...
[00:18] lune
    You shouldn't be moving yet.
[00:20] lune
    Your wound will open.
[00:21] yuni
    This is... the Excessarca's infirmary?
[00:26] yuni
    I can't be here... I need to
    get back to the front lines!
[00:29] lune
    Calm down. The battle's over.
[00:31] lune
    We're mustering our remaining forces
    and falling back to Hariant.
[00:37] yuni
    Then the defense line on the River Deese...
[00:41] lune
    Yeah...
[00:42] lune
    There was a full day of fighting,
    and the Imperial Army broke through.
[00:48] lune
    I don't like it either,
[00:51] lune
    but you should focus on
    your recovery for now.
[00:55] yuni
    Lune...
[00:57] lune
    We'll have one last showdown in Hariant.

    People of Hariant.
[02:44] yuki
    Please follow the instructions
    given to you calmly but quickly.
[02:48] yuki
    The Kingdom will bring you all
    safely to the evacuation site.
[02:53] yuki
    We will overcome this hardship,
    and smile together again some day.
[02:58] yuki
    I, Yuki Soleil, believe this
    from the bottom of my heart.
[03:02] yuki
    Everyone, please prioritize your
    safety over everything else.
[03:07] yuki
    I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts.
[03:11] iza
    Princess Yuki... she volunteered
    for that painful duty.
[03:16] har
    But it was worth it.
[03:17] har
    There has been no panic among
    the citizens as a result.
[03:21] iza
    Will the war finally come
    to our city of Hariant?
[03:26] har
    How's Elisa? Has she left
    the city with Noel yet?
[03:30] iza
    No...
[03:32] lay
    You did well.
[03:33] lay
    You should leave things to the others
    now, and go rest in your room.
[03:37] yuki
    Miss Layla... is there really
    no way to avoid more fighting?
[03:42] lay
    I'm afraid not.
[03:45] yuki
    What if I surrender, and turn
    myself over to the Empire?
[03:49] lay
    The people do not wish to sacrifice you.
[03:54] lay
    And it will be all the more torturous for
    them if we're occupied by the Empire.
[04:00] yuki
    Then, you're saying there's
    nothing else I can do?
[04:07] yuki
    It was the same back then... in Leash.
[04:12] yuki
    I just wanted to save the

    That's very brave of you.

    There's still time to evacuate!

    Yeah, yeah. Here, a change of clothes.

[05:26] yu
    Who are these people?
[05:28] eli
    It's been some time, Princess Yuki.

    Elisa, this discussion isn't over! Elisa!
[05:37] noel
    Princess Yuki! Where's Joshua?
[05:41] noel
    Hey, where's Joshua? I wanna play with him!
[05:46] yuki
    Joshua... is far away right now. For work.
[05:50] noel
    Aw...
[05:52] yuki
    Come on. Let's look at the flowers.
[06:02] noel
    So pretty!
[06:04] noel
    Huh? Are those flowers, too?
[06:06] noel
    They look all droopy....
[06:07] yuki
    They're called sunflowers.
[06:09] yuki
    They come from the our ancestors' homeworld,
[06:12] yuki
    but they're very hard to grow...
[06:15] noel
    Let's water them! I'll go get some!
[06:21] yuki
    Noel!
[06:24] yuki
    It's... It's dangerous here.
[06:28] yuki
    I want you and your mother to go away.
[06:32] yuki
    Please.
[06:34] noel
    Why do we have to go away?
[06:36] noel
    We haven't done anything wrong.
[06:40] yuki
    Well...
[06:42] noel
    C'mon, tell me!
[06:43] noel
    Princess Yuki, you're in charge
    of the whole country, right?
[06:46] noel
    I bet you know everything!
[06:49] yuki
    No... I don't.
[06:55] yuki
    I'm like these flowers.
[06:59] yuki
    Raised inside a cage,
    sheltered and cared for...
[07:03] yuki
    That's why I didn't know...
[07:06] yuki

[07:09] yuki
    But...
[07:12] yuki
    I can't stay like this.
[07:15] noel
    Princess Yuki?
[07:22] james
    The Kingdom's last line of defense
[07:24] james
    will be 15 kilometers north of Hariant,
    on the Bram Plateau.
[07:28] james
    We're down to 20% of our original forces.
[07:31] james
    Only two platoons of theurgears
    equipped with the new chrars remain.
[07:36] iza
    What's their speed of approach?
[07:38] ope
    They're within 100 kilometers of Hariant.
[07:41] ope
    They'll reach our line around daybreak.
[07:42] har
    They number 50,000 in total.
[07:46] har
    And I'm sure Chief of Staff Eine Fleet
     is commanding them personally.
[07:50] har
    Prepare one of the new chrars.
[07:52] har
    I'm going to join the front lines.
[07:54] iza
    Harold, you...
[07:56] james
    The old ace going back into action, eh?
[07:58] james
    That should boost the troops' morale.
[08:01] james
    But are you sure you can handle it?
[08:04] har
    Of course I can.
[08:05] har
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[08:07] james
    Heh... very well.
[08:08] james
    I'll prepare you a Gard, then.
[08:21] lay
    Your daughter is in Princess Yuki's room.
[08:24] lay
    You should take some time to rest, as well.
[08:26] eli
    All right. I think I shall.
[08:31] lay
    Elisa?
[08:34] eli
    Yes?
[08:35] lay
    Take care of your daughter.
[08:38] lay
    If there's anything that I can do,
    don't hesitate to let me know.
[08:42] eli
    I appreciate it greatly.
[08:44] eli
    Now, eat up, before it gets cold.
[08:52] lay
    Elisa prepared dinner for us. Shall we?
[08:57] yuki
    Sure!
[09:00] yuki
    Hey, Miss Layla.
[09:02] yuki
    The Empire started the war because
    they wanted the new chrars, right?
[09:08] lay
    That is one of the reasons, yes.
[09:11] yuki
    My parents were trying to make the
    new chrars to help everyone...
[09:17] yuki
    I think they really meant it, too.
[09:19] yuki
    But now...
[09:23] yuki
    So many people have died
    because of the chrars.
[09:27] yuki
    Why? Was it bad to make the chrars?
[09:31] lay
    One of the most basic causes of war
[09:33] lay
    is the struggle for wealth and resources.
[09:37] lay
    This time, it simply happens to be the chrars.
[09:41] yuki
    But...
[09:42] lay
    The energy that the chrars provide is
    the foundation of our civilization.
[09:46] lay
    Their application would inevitably extend beyond
     peaceful purposes to weapons of war.
[09:51] lay
    Regrettable as it may be.
[09:54] yuki
    Then...
[09:56] yuki
    Then I'm going to use those
    weapons to stop the fighting.
[10:01] yuki
    I'm tired of watching, silent and powerless!
[10:06] lay
    Princess Yuki...
[10:11] har
    Did the princess...
[10:13] iza
    Yes.
[10:14] iza
    I hear she's visited Joshua's
    grave every day without fail.
[10:27] har
    Adelle.
[10:30] har
    I'm sorry.
[10:33] har
    I'm going to give you reason
    to grieve once again.
[10:37] iza
    I'll ask, just to be sure.
[10:40] iza
    You aren't doing this just
    for revenge, are you?
[10:47] iza
    If the Empire hadn't resorted to
    force of arms twelve years ago...
[11:05] iza
    If you're just going back into
    battle to avenge her, then...
[11:10] har
    I can't deny it.
[11:12] har
    That is part of it.
[11:14] har
    But my desire to protect Princess Yuki—
    to protect the Kingdom—is genuine.
[11:20] iza
    Very well.
[11:22] iza
    Give it your best.
[11:29] ope
    Communication from the enemy Chief of Staff.
[11:31] aine
    I'll ask you one more time:
[11:33] aine
    Advisor Langford,
[11:35] aine
    do you have no intent to surrender?
[11:37] iza
    Certainly not.
[11:39] iza
    There is nothing more to discuss.
[11:41] aine
    Very well. So noted.
[11:47] aine
    Sovereign of the Kingdom
    of Soleil, Princess Yuki.
[11:50] aine
    I am commander of the Imperial Army,
    Chief of Staff Eine Fleet.
[11:55] yuki
    A pleasure to meet you.
[11:57] aine
    I'd heard you turned twelve years old, and...
[12:00] aine
    Indeed, you've grown quite pretty.
[12:02] aine
    You must have been raised in
    a truly loving environment.
[12:07] aine
    But that ends here today.
[12:09] aine
    Sit there in your ivory tower
    and watch your kingdom fall.
[12:14] har
    Here we go! Follow me!
[12:17] all
    Yes, sir!
[12:18] yuki
    That voice... was that Harold?
[12:20] iza
    Yes.
[12:21] iza
    He volunteered to lead the charge personally.
[12:24] yuki
    I've never seen Harold fight
    in a theurgear before...
[12:31] ope
    Approximately 1,200 in their vanguard.
[12:33] ope
    Their main force is right behind.
[12:34] ope
    Total number... incalculable!
[12:37] iza
    There are two elements to our defense line.
[12:42] iza
    First, the front line minefield
    will winnow their numbers.
[12:48] iza
    Those that break through...
[12:51] iza
    will be met by Harold and
    the rest of the vanguard.
[12:54] har
    Engage hand-to-hand combat!
[13:10] har
    Those that break through will
    enter the rear minefield,
[13:14] har
    where a firing squad will pick them off.
[13:19] yuki
    Wait!
[13:20] yuki
    Does that mean Harold and the others
    will be trapped between the minefields...
[13:23] iza
    Yes, and unable to retreat.
[13:25] iza
    It is a suicide mission.
[13:32] ian
    Half of the front line
    mines have been detonated.
[13:34] ian
    There are just too many of them!
[13:36] james
    Adjust the range of our cannons.
[13:38] james
    Angle of elevation, minus three degrees.
[13:40] james
    Relay the same to the Krivanovs.
[13:42] niko
    But at that angle, we risk hitting our allies, too!
[13:46] james
    They'll just have to be skilled
    enough not to get hit.
[13:57] yuki
    It never ends!
[14:01] lune
    Yuni!
[14:07] lune
    Grand Master Harold!
[14:09] har
    Keep each other safe,
[14:10] har
    if you don't want any regrets.
[14:15] har
    Here they come.
[14:17] har
    I won't let you people...
[14:20] har
    take anything precious to me...
[14:24] har
    ever again!
[14:47] lay
    You mustn't avert your gaze.
[14:49] lay
    This is our reality.
[14:51] lay
    You said that you wanted to
    stop the fighting, didn't you?
[14:54] lay
    Then think, with all your might...
[14:57] lay
    If you can't do that,
    you will remain powerless.
[15:24] har
    You crafty little...!
[15:39] har
    I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
[15:44] yuki
    Harold, no!
[15:48] har
    I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
[15:52] har
    Damn you!
[16:00] yuki
    That pilot went to help her comrade...
[16:04] lay
    The enemy are human, too.
[16:06] lay
    It's no surprise, is it?
[16:14] yuki
    This is wrong.
[16:17] yuki
    But what can I...
[16:20] (Flashback) josh
    Don't give up!
[16:22] (Flashback) josh
    With passion and will,
    there's nothing you can't do!
[16:37] yuki
    It's possible...
[16:39] yuki
    How many of the mines do we have left?
[16:43] ope
    20% on the front line. 50% in the rear.
[16:46] yuki
    It just might work...
[16:49] yuki
    Izana, do we have the
    data on the Bram Plateau?
[16:55] lune
    Yuni!
[16:56] yuni
    It's all right... I'm not finished yet.
[16:59] yuni
    Here I go!
[17:01] yuki
    Attention, all theurgears!
[17:03] yuki
    I've disabled all the mines!
[17:05] yuki
    Retreat to our camp behind the minefield!
[17:08] yuki
    This is an order from your princess!
[17:09] har
    Princess Yuki... What are you...
[17:12] yuki
    Notify the enemy army, too!
[17:14] yuki
    Hurry! I don't want any
    more of them to die, either!
[17:28] yuki
    All mines... detonate!
[17:37] yuki
    All units, fire!
[17:58] yuki
    Don't look away...
[18:00] yuki
    These are the consequences of my actions.
[18:03] lay
    The ground there is calcareous...
[18:06] iza
    It's been eroded away
    by an underground river.
[18:10] iza
    But I never even thought that you could...
[18:15] lune
    No way. It's so deep and so wide...
[18:18] yuni
    We can't cross it with hovers...
[18:22] har
    Excessarca, resume shelling!
[18:25] har
    If we thin out their forces now—
[18:27] yuki
    No, you will not.
[18:29] yuki
    I want you all to stand by
    and await my further command.
[18:31] har
    Princess Yuki!
[18:33] yuki
    Harold, you need to do as I say.
[18:35] yuki
    That's an order.
[18:41] iza
    Princess Yuki...
[18:46] james
    It will probably take until tomorrow
    for the Empire to marshal their forces.
[18:51] james
    What is our next course
    of action, Your Highness?
[18:54] yuki
    Contact their leader, Chief of Staff Eine.
[18:58] yuki
    The Kingdom of Soleil will accept
    the Empire's terms of surrender
[19:01] yuki
    and lay down arms immediately.
[19:04] yuni
    Princess Yuki!
[19:05] yuni
    But, then...
[19:07] yuki
    I don't want to see anyone else die.
[19:11] yuki
    So I'll turn myself over to the Empire.
[19:16] yuki
    I'm prepared to give my life
    to see an end to this fighting.
[19:20] yuni
    No!
[19:23] har
    Your Highness...
[19:25] iza
    You insist on this course of action?
[19:28] yuki
    Yes.
[19:30] iza
    Very well.
[19:32] iza
    I'll begin overtures to the Empire at once.
[19:36] yuki
    Thank you.
[19:39] yuki
    The signing won't be at the
    Royal Palace of Soleil?
[19:43] iza
    You must travel to the Imperial headquarters.
[19:46] iza
    This ship will take you there.
[19:49] yuki
    I see.
[19:50] iza
    Once the signing is complete,
[19:51] iza
    the Imperial Army will wish to
    begin their occupation immediately.
[19:54] iza
    I will remain and make preparations for that.
[19:57] yuki
    Please do.
[20:11] yuki
    Where are we going?
[20:13] yuki
    This isn't the way to the
    Imperial headquarters...
[20:15] yuki
    This ship is heading south
[20:17] yuki
    to the primary refugee evacuation site,
[20:19] yuki
    the southern State of Leo Tacrath.
[20:23] yuki
    What?
[20:25] yuki
    You will change our course this instant!
[20:37] har
    Princess Yuki.
[20:48] iza
    Good luck to all of you.
[20:50] iza
    Fight well.
[20:52] yuki
    Izana! I...
[20:55] iza
    Look after Elisa and Noel...
[20:58] iza
    And my other child, about to be born.
[21:06] iza
    Princess Yuki, you have just
    begun to stand on your own.
[21:10] iza
    Now is not the time for you to die.
[21:16] yuki
    Izana!
[22:51] aine
    To save her own skin, Yuki Soleil has fled.
[22:54] aine
    She has abandoned Hariant and its people!
[22:58] aine
    The sheer cowardice of it!
[23:00] aine
    She is unworthy to reign over others!
[23:02] aine
    We are victorious.
[23:05] aine
    The Kingdom is as good as fallen.
[23:08] aine
    And we owe it to your diligent, hard work.
[23:11] aine
    Glory to Grandiga!

[00:22] mar
    Not only did you get yourself captured,
[00:24] mar
    now you're acting as the Empire's lapdog?
[00:27] mar
    I'm disappointed.
[00:28] mar
    Have you lost your pride?

    It has been a month since the princess

[00:35] mar
    No matter how young she may be,

[02:43] lily
    There was a lot of shelling
    in this area, too, huh?
[02:46] lily
    It's a strange feeling...
[02:49] lily
    seeing the aftermath of our attacks on them.
[02:52] stel
    And vice-versa, too.
[02:55] lily
    Yeah... looking at Pierce since he got hurt.
[02:59] lily
    It's still hard for me.
[03:02] stel
    Yes.
[03:04] stel
    Especially since he's trying
    so hard to be strong...
[03:11] brea
    I thought this was the royal palace.
[03:14] huey
    Yeah, pathetic.
[03:16] brea
    Hey, how'd it go?
[03:18] stel
    This should be our last visit
    to Pierce in the hospital.
[03:20] huey
    What, is he finally kicking the bucket?
[03:22] lily
    You idiot. He's being
    discharged this evening.
[03:25] brea
    Today?
[03:26] lily
    So Stella and I were talking, and...
[03:30] stel
    I was wondering if we could
    all send Pierce off together.
[03:34] aine
    So the western Margrave
    won't submit that easily?
[03:39] iza
    Though they're technically part of our domain,
    it is a region with much history.
[03:43] iza
    You can force me to advocate on your behalf,
[03:46] iza
    but that doesn't mean they'll listen.
[03:48] aine
    I'm aware of the difficulty.
[03:50] aine
    Try your hardest to
    convince them, regardless.
[03:53] aine
    Neither of us wants to see more
    pointless bloodshed, do we?
[03:56] iza
    Pointless blood?
[03:58] iza
    Don't you mean, "I'd rather not have
    to divide my forces, if possible"?
[04:04] aine
    I anticipated that the
    Royal Senate would flee here.
[04:08] aine
    I'd naïvely assumed that their
    surrender would come soon after...
[04:12] aine
    I didn't expect they would
    give us this much trouble.
[04:15] aine
    Rumors say that
[04:17] aine
    it's the runaway princess who commands
    the remaining resistance. Is it true?
[04:21] iza
    I wouldn't know.
[04:22] iza
    I've been a bird in a cage for over a month.
[04:25] iza
    I'm in no position to hear such things.

    My Emperor.
[05:51] aine
    I've received word that the
    information Advisor Langford gave us
[05:54] aine
    has nearly been decoded.
[05:57] emp
    I see.
[05:58] emp
    Does that mean we'll be able to mass-produce
[06:02] emp
    the new chrars currently in our possession?
[06:04] aine
    Yes, almost certainly.
[06:07] aine
    However...
[06:08] emp
    Yes?
[06:09] aine
    With the end of the conflict in sight,
[06:13] aine
    hasn't the need for mass
    production become less urgent?
[06:17] aine
    As you know, the new chrars are
    rife with issues, and given—
[06:20] emp
    Enough.
[06:22] emp
    Soldiers die under my flag.

    When your crest represents
    no tradition, no bloodline,
[06:29] emp

[06:40] lily

[07:01] huey

[07:15] stel
    I thought we could share this.
[07:17] gail
    What's all this?
[07:19] lily
    Apparently some stray fire hit the palace
    wine cellar and blew a hole in it.
[07:23] stel
    Most of the wine was ruined,
    and they were going to throw it out.
[07:28] gail
    So you took some?
[07:29] lily
    Stella is amazing!
[07:31] lily
    She picked up the smell of

[07:34] stel
    Well... I have a memory of playing
    around in a place like that long ago.
[07:40] break
    You came from a household with a wine cellar?
[07:42] stel

[07:45] stel
    It was a really long time ago.

    in terrible condition...
[08:01] guy
    Well, you stay in the military long enough,
[08:03] guy
    you pick up a loyal squadmate or two.
[08:07] huey
    Sounds like I'm up, then.
[08:09] huey

[08:15] lily
    How shocking!
[08:17] lily
    I didn't know Huey had such skills.
[08:22] stel
    What?
[08:28] huey
    Okay, enough peeling.
[08:29] huey
    Break, go cook those sardines.
[08:31] break
    Huh? But they're canned!
[08:33] huey
    So grill 'em in the can.
[08:35] huey
    A little extra effort goes a long way.
[08:39] break
    Wh-Which one's the grill?
[08:41] guy
    Quiet down! Someone's gonna come!
[08:43] huey
    You people!
[08:44] huey
    Cooking isn't something you can do quietly!
[08:47] huey
    And you, quit staring and put
    those potatoes in the mixer!
[08:50] lily
    You don't have to be so bossy!
[08:52] stel
    What should I do?
[08:53] huey
    Let's see...
[08:54] huey
    Here, chateau these.
[08:56] stel
    Huh?
[08:57] huey
    Okay. Then trim these.
[09:00] stel

[09:02] huey
    Forget it!
[09:03] huey
    Go decorate the room or something.
[09:11] lily
    How beautiful!
[09:13] stel
    They're artificial, of course.
[09:18] break
    You think she came from a
    fancy household, after all?
[09:23] lily
    I've never thought to ask,
[09:26] lily
    and she doesn't seem to
    want to talk about it...
[09:46] break
    I feel weirdly nervous.
[09:49] gail
    Let's skip the pleasantries.
[09:51] gail
    To Pierce's release from the hospital.
[09:53] gail
    Cheers!
[09:54] all
    Cheers!
[09:59] pierce
    Amazing. You did all this...
[10:01] break
    Of course, it's almost all potatoes.
[10:04] lily
    But we worked hard to make it.
[10:06] lily
    Huey and all of us.
[10:10] lily
    W-Wow. It's so good!
    Really, really good!
[10:14] lily
    How to put it... it's rich, but not cloying.
[10:19] pier
    This is delicious!
[10:20] pier
    I know. This is perfect.
[10:23] pier
    I've been carrying these around with me.
[10:25] pier
    Would you like to try some?
[10:28] stel
    What are they?
[10:29] pie
    Bugsy beans.
[10:30] pie
    They're a local delicacy from my hometown.
[10:32] pie
    They're an acquired taste,
[10:34] pie
    but they can be quite addictive
    once you're used to them.
[10:36] pie
    Would you like to try one, Commander?
[10:38] gail
    I'm not really a fan of beans...
[10:41] lily
    They look delicious!
[10:43] break
    Wait. Hang on, I've heard of these beans.
[10:47] break
    When we feed these to Royal Army
    POWs, they complain about torture!
[10:53] huey
    Wh-What the hell is this?!
[10:56] lily
    W-Well... that's a local delicacy for you.
[10:59] lily
    They're rather... unique.
[11:02] huey
    They're gross!
[11:03] guy
    Hey, you guys okay?
[11:06] guy
    You don't have to force it...
[11:08] huey
    Water! I need water!
[11:09] break
    Wait!
[11:10] break
    If you want to kill the taste, try this.
[11:12] break
    It's what we drink in my hometown
    after you eat something gross.
[11:15] break
    You see...
[11:20] break
    It's even more gross, which cancels it out!
[11:21] huey
    You ass!
[11:22] huey
    You just doubled the grossness!
[11:23] break
    That's strange...
[11:26] guy
    I told you, you don't need to force it...
[11:31] guy
    Don't worry. I'll be filling
    your shoes and then some.
[11:35] guy
    Head on home without a care.
[11:37] lily
    Hey.
[11:38] break
    But it'll be nice to be home, huh?
[11:41] pierce
    I guess.
[11:42] break
    You guess?
[11:43] huey
    It never feels nice to get let go.
[11:46] huey
    He's getting a discharge
    for injury, remember?
[11:48] lily
    Still, your family'll be happy to see you.
[11:53] pierce
    I'm afraid I was a burden
    to them from the start.
[11:56] pierce
    You know the saying...
    "poor farmers, big families."
[11:58] pierce
    I basically joined the military
    to be one less mouth to feed.
[12:04] pierce
    A long time ago, someone tricked my father
[12:07] pierce
    into buying a large shipment of
    crop seeds that wouldn't root.
[12:11] pierce
    He lost a fortune, and our family
    spiraled from there into poverty.
[12:15] huey
    What the hell?
[12:16] huey
    Don't any of us come from a not-terrible life?
[12:19] guy
    What'll you do next?
[12:21] guy
    Got a job lined up?
[12:22] pierce
    Well... I haven't really decided.
[12:25] gail
    Would you like to work at my orphanage, then?
[12:30] lily
    Commander, what did you...
[12:33] gail
    I run an orphanage. I was asking
    if you'd like to help out there.
[12:37] stel
    Why do you run an orphanage?
[12:39] gail
    Do I need a reason?
[12:42] stel
    No...
[12:43] gail
    What do you think?
[12:45] pierce
    Well...
[12:47] gail
    Is that a no?
[12:48] pie
    No...
[12:49] pie
    Well, it's just so sudden...
[12:53] gail
    Think about it, then.
[12:55] gail
    Let me know before you go.
[13:06] mon
    Excuse me.
[13:10] iza
    I'm sure you were told to investigate
    if you saw me writing anything down.
[13:15] iza
    They're baby names.
[13:16] mon
    Baby names?
[13:19] iza
    My next will be born soon.
[13:21] iza
    But I'm having trouble
    thinking up good names...
[13:27] stel
    Excuse me, sir.
[13:28] stel
    Warrant Officer Break and Huey
    went back to their rooms.
[13:32] gail
    Guy, too?
[13:33] stel
    Yes.
[13:34] stel
    He was stumbling drunk, so the Warrant
    Officer took him back to his room...
[13:38] stel
    Lily took a walk to settle her stomach.
[13:41] stel
    She ate too much, she said.
[13:43] gail
    I see. You sleep, too.
[13:46] gail
    We can clean this all up tomorrow.
[13:48] stel
    Yes, sir.
[13:49] stel
    Ah... Where's Pierce?
[13:52] stel
    He left a little while ago.
[13:55] stel
    What did he say?
[13:57] gail
    About the orphanage?
[13:59] gail
    He hasn't made up his mind yet.
[14:02] stel
    I thought it was a wonderful offer, myself.
[14:04] gail
    I'm not sure I'd say an
    orphanage is wonderful.
[14:08] gail
    But I thought he might appreciate it.
[14:12] gail
    He said his father once told him...
[14:16] gail
    "You're a crop that won't root, too."
[14:21] gail
    Apparently he was a bit of a troublemaker.
[14:24] gail
    Well, it's a common story for young people,
[14:26] gail
    at that age before they've
    figured themselves out.
[14:29] gail
    But, apparently, those words
    cut him pretty deep.
[14:34] gail
    "They say I'm like the crops that
    brought my family to ruin"...
[14:38] gail
    "How could someone like me
    ever look after children?"
[14:44] stel
    I think he'll be fine.
[14:48] stel
    Those who know pain are better
    equipped to understand the feelings
[14:54] stel
    of children who have suffered.
[14:58] gail
    Were you one of those children, too?
[15:08] (Flashback) mom
    Come here! Call me Mom!
[15:15] (Flashback) dad
    I told you it's not working!
[15:18] (Flashback) dad
    It's not working...
[15:19] (Flashback) dad
    I don't even know if I'll
    be able to keep my job.
[15:22] (Flashback) dad
    I don't know if we'll be able to feed her...
[15:24] (Flashback) mom
    But you were so happy when she was born!
[15:27] (Flashback) dad
    But things have changed since then!
[15:30] (Flashback) dad
    If only we hadn't taken that girl in...
[15:42] (Flashback) mom
    Are you saying it's not good enough for you?
[15:45] (Flashback) mom
    Then wipe that expression off your face.
[15:53] (Flashback) mom
    That's right.
[15:55] (Flashback) mom
    Just keep smiling.
[15:57] (Flashback) mom
    Smiling will get you through anything.
[16:33] gail
    The children I'm trying to raise
[16:35] gail
    probably aren't the kind
    you're thinking about.
[16:39] gail
    I don't want to raise weak children
[16:42] gail
    who rely on commiseration
    to fumble through life.
[16:46] gail
    Nor children who lie to themselves and
    smile just to placate those around them.
[16:55] gail
    Pierce is just looking for reasons to
    justify his lack of self-confidence.
[17:01] gail
    It's not the flower that decides it
    won't root, it's the people around it.
[17:05] gail
    Flowers and crops both...
[17:08] gail
    They fight with all they have to take
    root and survive, don't you think?
[17:13] gail
    I'll go to bed, too.
[17:15] gail
    Haven't been this drunk in a while.

    Lily. And Pierce...

    Well...
[17:38] pie
    Please don't say it that way.
    She'll get the wrong idea.

[17:58] lily

[18:02] pie

[18:05] lily
    Want to come, Stella?
[18:06] lily
    I'd like to see it myself.
[18:13] stel
    Stop.
[18:14] stel
    That way!
[18:17] stel
    Hide!
[18:29] (Flashback) mom
    Smiling will get you through anything.
[18:33] (Flashback) gail

[18:42] lily
    Amazing...
[18:44] pie
    Yeah, it's amazing.
[18:47] pie
    Thanks.
[18:48] pie
    This will make a great
    story to take back home.

    Are we done here, then?
[18:52] lily
    Seeing as we've come this far,
    why not venture further?
[18:57] stel
    A greenhouse... in a place like this?
[19:02] lily
    It's so beautiful!
[19:08] pie
    I've never seen flowers like these before.
[19:11] lily
    Are they dead?
[19:14] pie
    Flowers that didn't root?
[19:19] stel
    But look, they've grown this big.
[19:23] stel
    Even if it's hard for them to grow,
[19:26] stel
    they still did so,
    while someone cared for them.
[19:30] pie
    You're right. They might not have had to die.
[19:36] stel
    Someone took really good care of them.
[19:39] stel
    Someone came and went,
    giving them water and love...
[19:45] stel
    "It's not the flower that
    decides it won't root."
[19:47] stel
    "It's the people around it
    who are convinced that it won't."
[19:52] stel
    The commander told me that.
[19:54] stel
    "Flowers and crops both..."
[19:55] stel
    "They fight with all they have
    to take root and survive."
[20:02] pie
    You think the commander's asleep already?
[20:06] stel
    Most likely.
[20:08] stel
    But he's probably waiting to hear from you.
[20:15] stel
    Who put so much love and care into
    raising these flowers, and why?
[20:29] sol
    You'll be home soon?
[20:32] pie
    Yeah.
[20:33] pie
    The border will soon be in sight.
[20:36] pie
    Then it's just a little bit longer...
[20:46] lily
    That can't be true!
[20:48] gail

    Despite our overwhelming disadvantage,

    Princess Yuki has stymied our

[09:46] (Flashback) yuki
    What does it mean?
[09:48] (Flashback) yuki
    You mean my parents didn't
    die in an accident?
[09:55] yuki
    The ones who attacked during the ceremony
[09:57] yuki
    were survivors of the old Empire of Verde.
[10:01] lay
    Yes.
[10:02] lay
    It seems that even before the incident,
[10:04] lay
    they had been protesting the
    very existence of chrars.
[10:07] lay
    But Soleil and Grandiga
    did not share their views.
[10:12] lay
    That tragedy was the result.
[10:15] yuki
    But none of you... not you,
    not Harold, nor Izana...
[10:19] yuki
    were told why they objected.
[10:22] yuki
    Why did the Empire of Verde
    hate the new chrars so much?

    Chief of Staff Eine Fleet,
[11:27] emp

    How many can we install right now?
[11:50] man
    Twenty-four.
[11:52] har
    Hurry.
[11:53] har
    I want our preparations to be perfect.
[11:59] ope
    Urgent message from recon squad.
[12:01] ope
    The Imperial Army at the palace
    is showing signs of movement.
[12:05] har
    Understood.
[12:06] har
    I'll return to headquarters at once.
[12:09] har
    Our recon squad reports five enemy
    carriers in port at the palace.
[12:14] har
    They're probably about to send a large force.
[12:17] har
    Their target will be one of
    these as-yet unoccupied states:
[12:21] har
    North Robia or Theras.
[12:24] yuki
    What's the status of the Excessarca?
[12:26] ope
    Still in the State of Chrisant,
    fighting alongside Margrave Guize's army.
[12:31] yuki
    I see.
[12:33] har
    I have twenty-four Gards equipped
    with new chrars heading our way.
[12:39] har
    We should muster our forces
    and meet them in battle.
[12:43] yuki
    No.
[12:44] yuki
    We'll continue our current strategy.
[12:47] yuki
    They outnumber us too greatly.
[12:49] yuki
    Prepare for withdrawal.
[12:51] har
    Losing either of those states will make it
    harder to hold off an attack on this city!
[12:57] yuki
    That doesn't matter.
[12:59] yuki
    As long as our people are safe,
[13:00] yuki
    there will always be another opportunity.
[13:02] har
    Your Highness!
[13:03] yuki
    I will not change my plan!
[13:06] yuki
    Contact the armies in both states covertly.

    and resources at any time.

[13:40] yuki
    Move the people and resources of North Robia

    along the designated routes
    to the State of Theras!
[13:46] ope
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:47] ope
    I'll have them mobilize at once!
[13:56] iza
    Excuse me. Could I ask your opinion?
[14:01] iza
    It's about baby names.
[14:02] iza
    I've narrowed it down to two,
[14:04] iza
    but I can't seem to decide.
[14:26] ope
    Our forces will reach the State
    of Theras border momentarily.
[14:30] ope
    Five enemy carriers have arrived on the
    border to the State of North Robia.

[14:36] ope
    Princess Yuki! Message from an enemy ship!

    I'm honored to speak with

[14:47] yuki
    You're...
[14:48] eine
    First, I'd like to apologize.
[14:51] eine
    I spoke to you in our last
    meeting with contempt.
[14:55] eine
    But I respect your continuing efforts,
[14:57] eine
    and your ability to inspire
    loyalty in your people.
[15:03] yuki
    Is this the only reason you called me?
[15:06] eine
    I wish to ask you one thing:
[15:08] eine
    would you agree to surrender?
[15:11] eine
    If you surrender now,
[15:13] eine
    we can put an end to all of this
    without further loss of life.
[15:20] yuki
    Twelve years ago,
[15:21] yuki
    the Empire of Verde resorted to terrorism
[15:23] yuki
    to keep the new chrars from being used.
[15:26] yuki
    Does your empire know why?
[15:30] yuki
    I see that you do.
[15:34] yuki
    If we surrender now, will you
    guarantee the safety of my people,
[15:38] yuki
    and the release of information
    about the Empire of Verde?
[15:44] eine
    I will guarantee the former,
[15:47] eine
    but on the latter, I refuse.
[15:50] yuki
    Then I cannot agree to surrender.
[15:55] eine
    A pity.
[15:57] eine
    Then you should have focused less on that,
[15:58] eine
    and more on your brethren
    just outside my front door.
[16:04] ope
    Message from the recon squad in Theras.
[16:07] ope
    Enemy ships and theurgears in large
    numbers are approaching from Rothea!
[16:10] ope
    It looks like an ambush!
[16:12] har
    They anticipated our movements?
[16:42] iza
    Of course... no time to keep eyes
    on a prisoner who's past usefulness.
[17:12] ope
    Urgent message! It's from
    Yuni Vanquish of the Order!
[17:17] yuni
    Princess Yuki.
[17:18] yuki
    Yuni! Where are you?
[17:20] yuni
    Near the border between Rothea and Theras.
[17:23] yuni
    After we finished our mission,
[17:26] yuni
    we heard about the situation there,
    and we went on ahead of the Excessarca.
[17:29] lune
    Our forces are surrounded
    about 300 meters away.
[17:34] yuki
    Lune, do you know if they're all right?
[17:37] lune
    According to communications
    recon intercepted,
[17:39] lune
    they've been completely wiped out.
[17:44] har
    Your Highness!
[17:45] yuki
    I know...
[17:49] yuki
    I'm sorry. I'm all right.
[17:53] lune
    Princess Yuki, recon picked up
    one more piece of information.
[17:58] lune
    Their chief of staff, Eine Fleet,
    is in the ship ahead of us.
[18:03] lune
    We could catch them by surprise right now.
[18:05] lune
    I'm positive we could take that ship down.
[18:08] yuki
    But... if you do that...
[18:10] yuni
    We'd gladly give our lives to
    punch the Empire in the nose.
[18:13] yuki
    You can't!
[18:15] yuni
    Princess Yuki.
[18:17] yuni
    Losing their chief of staff will
    be a massive blow to their army.
[18:21] yuni
    Let us do this!
[18:23] yuki
    I said no!
[18:25] har
    Princess, now is the time
    to do what is necessary!
[18:28] yuki
    We can't afford to lose
    any more of our people!
[18:30] har
    After all this, you're still saying that?!
[18:33] yuki
    This is the only way I can do things!
[18:48] iza
    It can't be...
[18:50] ope
    Urgent message.

    This time it's from the palace!
[18:55] yuki
    Izana?
[18:56] har
    What are you doing?!
[18:58] iza
    Princess Yuki, I'm going to send
    you some extremely important data.

    Data?
[19:03] har
    You idiot!
[19:04] har
    If they find you, they'll kill you!
[19:05] iza
    I know that.
[19:06] har
    Then...

    This data will change Soleil's future.

[04:05] sen
    So we took back the State of Theras, eh?
[04:07] sen
    Scared the hell out of me when their chief

[04:13] sen
    Well done. Keep the pressure
    on them, would you?
[04:17] sen
    How goes the increased

[04:20] har
    We're going as fast as we can.
[04:21] har
    On top of that, I have good news.
[04:23] har
    We've discovered that improving
    the placement of the new chrars
[04:28] har
    allows for far better output than before.
[04:32] har
    Using this in mobile artillery
[04:33] har
    would allow us to shell them from
     greater distances than ever before.
[04:37] sen
    Excellent!
[04:38] sen
    We'll blast those Imperial squatters

    We're long past the point where powerful

    But if used prudently,
[04:53] har
    this could perhaps turn the
    tide back in our favor.
[04:56] yuki
    If that would indeed end the war,
[05:00] yuki
    I would welcome it...
[05:03] yuki
    But only if it doesn't cause
    unnecessary deaths on their side.
[05:08] har
    Princess Yuki, have you forgotten
    what happened the other day?
[05:12] har
    The Empire set an ambush
    for our withdrawing forces
[05:16] har
    and attacked them mercilessly.
[05:18] har
    As a result, the deaths
    were solely on our side.
[05:21] har
    "Treasure all lives, whether friend or foe."
[05:25] har
    It's a beautiful ideal, in principle.
[05:28] har
    But it's not realistic.
[05:31] har
    War cannot be whitewashed so easily.
[05:33] yuki
    I will not argue with you in that regard.
[05:36] yuki
    But the new chrars are another story.
[05:41] yuki
    Those assembled should be familiar by now
[05:43] yuki
    with the contents of the data Izana sent us.
[05:46] yuki
    Yet you continue to manufacture new chrars—
[05:49] har
    We do.
[05:51] har
    We have no other choice.
[05:59] yuki
    I don't believe it.
[06:01] yuki
    How could they ever face Izana after this?
[06:05] lay
    According to the research data
    the Empire was concealing,
[06:08] lay
    the scientists of the Empire of
    Verde had independently realized
[06:11] lay
    the chrars' negative impact
    on the environment.
[06:15] lay
    It would happen over the course
    of a millennium or two...
[06:18] lay
    But if we kept using chrars, the planet's soil
    would eventually turn barren.
[06:23] lay
    The Empire of Verde perceived the new chrars,
[06:26] lay
    which would hasten that
    process, as dangerous.
[06:30] lay
    That perception eventually led to the
    terrorist act of twelve years ago.
[06:34] yuki
    Do you think Mother and Father knew?
[06:38] lay
    I suspect that Verde first
    tried amicably to inform
[06:42] lay
    both sides about the danger of the chrars.
[06:46] lay
    But the information never
    reached the royal couple.
[06:51] lay
    Somebody smothered it.
[06:54] lay
    Them, most likely.
[06:57] lay
    Grandiga also suppressed the information.
[07:00] lay
    The Empire of Verde fell,
[07:03] lay
    and the survivors perpetrated
    that act of terrorism,
[07:07] lay
    killing the royal couple,
    and many others, in the process...
[07:12] yuki
    Miss Layla... did you lose...
    someone important to you, then?
[07:18] yuki
    I just had a feeling...
[07:19] yuki
    But I couldn't ask before now...
[07:23] yuki
    I guess you don't want to tell me about it...
[07:26] lay
    Princess Yuki...
[07:29] yuki
    And so, Miss Layla told me everything.
[07:34] yuki
    How she was caught up in the
    same incident my parents were,
[07:37] yuki
    and lost everything...
[07:39] yuki
    How she didn't feel like
    returning to the Empire...
[07:42] yuki
    and with Izana's help, started a new life...
[07:48] lay
    Princess Yuki, I have a favor to ask you.
[07:52] lay
    As a former chrars researcher,
[07:55] lay
    there is something about the information
    Lord Izana left us that concerns me.
[07:59] lay
    Could I have time to analyze it?
[08:01] yuki
    Yes. Please do.
[08:06] yuki
    The Royal Army mass-produced the new chrars,
[08:09] yuki
    and managed to keep the
    Imperial Army at bay...
[08:12] yuki
    The war fell into a stalemate again.
[08:15] yuki
    Casualties between the two
    armies exceeded 300,000.
[08:28] yuki
    Winter will come soon...
[08:30] yuki
    What will happen to these children
    if we can't get enough food?
[08:39] yuki
    Then one day, as autumn neared its end...
[08:43] har
    It is now about 90% complete.
[08:46] har
    The Excessarca is expected to
    collect the parts tomorrow morning
[08:49] har
    to carry them to the front line.
[08:52] har
    What brings you here today?
[08:54] lay
    Could I use one of the new
    chrars test facilities?
[08:58] lay
    I only require an hour.
[09:00] har
    If you wish.
[09:01] yuki
    Thank you. Let's go.
[09:04] har
    Wait a minute.
[09:06] har
    I'll show you the way.
[09:12] har
    What's in there?
[09:14] lay
    You'll see soon enough.
[09:34] yuki
    Miss Layla, what are those?
[09:37] lay
    Microscopic mechanisms found
    in our planet's atmosphere.
[09:41] lay
    Ancient nanomachines.
[09:44] lay
    The data Lord Izana sent
    allowed me to identify them.
[09:48] lay
    It's my first time seeing
    them this way, as well, but...
[09:53] lay
    These nanomachines were released
[09:55] lay
    by our ancestors to terraform the planet.
[09:59] lay
    These self-replicating nanomachines
    dissolved into the atmosphere,
[10:02] lay
    became part of its composition,
[10:03] lay
    and rendered the planet
    capable of sustaining life.
[10:07] lay
    But as generations passed from
    the initial immigration,
[10:10] lay
    the knowledge and technology were lost.
[10:16] lay
    In time, something unexpected happened...
[10:19] lay
    A mineral unique to this planet,
     the chrarslapis, was discovered.
[10:24] lay
    This revolutionary mineral provided
    limitless clean energy...
[10:28] lay
    But the idea of something coming
    from nothing is pure fantasy.
[10:33] lay
    They should have questioned
    it from the start.
[10:36] lay
    By coincidence, the chrars had a natural
    resonance with the nanomachines.
[10:41] lay
    The energy that seemed to
    be produced by the chrars
[10:44] lay
    was actually the energy that
    powered the nanomachines,
[10:46] lay
    extracted through that resonance.
[10:50] lay
    In effect, the chrars are
    draining the nanomachines.
[10:56] lay
    With continued usage, as you can see,
    the nanomachines begin to die out...
[11:01] har
    ...And the planet's environment degrades.
[11:04] har
    You're saying the Empire
    of Verde realized that?
[11:10] yuki
    Miss Layla!
[11:11] lay
    I'm almost finished.
[11:12] lay
    Try not to look directly at the light.
[11:23] lay
    Do not worry.
[11:24] lay
    The experiment was a success.
[11:27] lay
    Continuous overburdening of a new chrars
[11:32] lay
    shut down its resonance
    with the nanomachines.
[11:36] har
    Are you saying...
[11:38] lay
    Yes. The chrars lost its ability to
    channel energy from the nanomachines.
[11:44] lay
    The result is all around you.
[11:46] har
    I see...
[11:48] har
    It would be impossible to keep
    fighting under such circumstances.
[11:52] har
    It's the greatest weapon I've ever seen.
[11:55] har
    If we turned this on the Imperial Army,
[11:57] har
    the Kingdom could end the war victorious!
[12:06] knight
    90% of our energy supply has been disrupted.
[12:08] knight
    The security system remains down, as well.
[12:11] har
    Maintain maximum vigilance
    with the naked eye.
[12:13] har
    Let me know the moment the
    Excessarca is in sight.
[12:17] man
    Yes, sir.
[12:18] op
    Uncertainty is spreading among the staff.
[12:21] op
    It's late in the season,
    and we'll need ways to keep warm...
[12:24] har
    Distribute emergency rations.
[12:26] har
    Camping will be permitted within
    200 meters of the facility.
[12:29] har
    Tell the heads of each department
    to keep a firm hand on their staff.
[12:36] yuki
    Miss Layla, how long will
    things be like this?
[12:39] lay
    I believe power will be restored by dawn.
[12:42] lay
    Forgive me.
[12:43] lay
    I didn't expect it to
    affect such a wide area...
[12:47] lay
    My simulations had it limited
    to ten meters of the experi—
[12:58] lay
    Ouch!
[13:00] yu
    What was that sound she just made?
[13:04] har
    Not used to keeping a fire?
[13:07] har
    Another lifelong city dweller, I see...
[13:09] har
    I'll take over.
[13:10] har
    Camping's something I can handle.
[13:16] har
    It's getting colder...
[13:18] har
    You've really done it to us this time.
[13:22] lay
    The fire is going out.
[13:29] yuki
    It's nice and warm...
[13:32] yuki
    Maybe...
[13:33] yuki
    if we could all live together
    like this... war wouldn't even...
[13:39] lay
    According to the records, our ancestors
    did live like this, long ago.
[13:46] lay
    Our home planet did not have chrars,
[13:50] lay
    and before civilization developed,
[13:53] lay
    they must have spent a long time
    living just such simple lives.
[13:57] yuki
    Then, you think we could—
[13:58] har
    It's a fantasy.
[14:00] yuki
    Harold?
[14:02] har
    The loss of chrars would lead to a
    scramble for resources just to survive.
[14:07] har
    If we didn't have weapons, we'd just
    kill each other with our bare hands.
[14:10] yuki
    B-But...
[14:11] yuki
    Don't you remember the research
    from the Empire of Verde?
[14:14] yuki
    If we keep using the new chrars...
[14:16] har
    The immediate danger must
    be dealt with first.
[14:18] har
    If we fail to win this war,
    the Kingdom will fall.
[14:22] har
    Your beloved people will die out.
[14:26] har
    But if we use this against the enemy,
[14:28] har
    it could prove extremely useful.
[14:29] lay
    I'm sorry to inform you,
[14:31] lay
    but it cannot be used as a weapon.
[14:34] lay
    Neither we nor the Empire have the technology
[14:37] lay
    to make the phenomenon occur
    in a given location at will.
[14:42] lay
    I'm very sorry to disappoint you.
[14:47] har
    All right, I get the gist.
[14:49] har
    Try to keep the princess warm.
[14:52] lay
    Yes, sir.
[15:01] har
    It really is a fantasy...
[15:04] har
    But...
[15:05] har
    If not for these things, Izana...
[15:08] har
    You and she might never
    have lost your lives...
[15:14] har
    Losing and taking...
[15:16] har
    Is that cycle all there is, in the end?
[15:20] har
    In terms of what I can do...
[15:31] james
    I heard everything.
[15:32] james
    Quite a mess you had to
    deal with yesterday, eh?
[15:35] james
    Izana left you one hell of a souvenir.
[15:39] har
    Yes...
[15:41] james
    What happened with Izana
    isn't solely your fault.
[15:44] james
    You shouldn't beat yourself up too much.
[15:46] james
    We can't afford to lose
    any more of our people.
[15:48] har
    That's quite a tone to take
    with your Grand Master.
[15:52] james
    I feel the same way.
[15:53] james
    When did that boy I watched sweat
    bullets in his first deployment
[15:56] james
    start talking like he's a real man?
[16:03] lay
    I'm told the Excessarca
    will set out this evening.
[16:06] lay
    It's going to be carrying the new artillery.
[16:09] yuki
    I see...
[16:12] yuki
    Miss Layla, I want to ask you something.
[16:17] james
    That's all of it.
[16:19] har
    We're counting on you.
[16:25] aud
    That's the end of it.
[16:26] aud
    It's only a matter of time
    before the Imperial Army
[16:29] aud
    breaks the defense line and arrives here.
[16:30] har
    How goes the loading of the mobile artillery?
[16:32] jona
    Ten minutes to completion.
[16:36] har
    The moment it's done,
    head for State Capital Edinell.
[16:39] har
    Take Princess Yuki and get out of here.
[16:43] har
    Retrieve all the chrars research
    materials from the facility.
[16:46] har
    Get as many of the workers
    on board as you can, as well.
[16:49] har
    Out of the Order machines,
    the Monocherous Unit alone will remain.
[16:52] har
    I'll take command and buy
    time for you to escape.
[16:56] james
    Understood. And the twins?
[16:58] har
    I'm leaving them to guard the ship.
[17:00] lune
    You can't...
[17:00] yuni
    Master! Allow us to join you!
[17:04] har
    You'll keep Princess Yuki safe.
[17:06] har
    That's an order.
[17:09] yuki
    No! You need to come with us!
[17:12] har
    Your life comes first, Your Highness.
[17:23] yuki
    Harold!
[17:30] har
    Don't look at me that way.
[17:32] har
    You need to be stronger than this.
[17:35] yuki
    But...
[17:36] har
    We can't afford to stand still now.
[17:39] har
    The Empire won't be able to maintain
    this war of attrition much longer.
[17:43] har
    They'll be struggling to end things quickly.
[17:46] har
    Princess Yuki, I apologize for the
    many times I've disobeyed you.
[17:51] har
    It was the only way I knew
    to protect the Kingdom.
[17:59] har
    Princess Yuki, if you truly care
    about your country and your people,
[18:04] har
    the time has come for you to make choices,
[18:06] har
    no matter how difficult
    and painful they may be.
[18:09] har
    As their leader, you do not
    have time to stand still.
[18:14] har
    Walk forward, I ask you.
[18:23] yuki
    Harold...
[18:25] har
    I will hold the road behind you.
[18:57] mono
    Traps activated!
[18:59] har
    I think we might just buy them a little time.
[19:01] mono
    Yes, sir.
[19:02] mono
    Let's go out there, guns blazing,
    and hold their attention.
[19:06] har
    I'm sorry to make you join me here.
[19:08] mono
    Not at all.
[19:09] mono
    Any knight would be honored
    to serve as rear guard.
[19:13] har
    Indeed.
[19:16] mari
    Report from field recon.
[19:18] mari
    Hostilities have begun!
[19:20] james
    Have they noticed us?
[19:21] ian
    Not yet.
[19:30] mono
    They've breached the mine field!

    They'll cut through!

    In celebration of your birth,

    The one from last time, eh?
[20:36] (Flashback) king
    Now, give her your blessing.
[20:42] (Flashback) iza
    Princess Yuki Soleil...
[20:53] har
    May your future be one of joy and prosperity.
[21:22] mari
    Report from recon.
[21:24] mari
    Hostilities have ended.
[21:26] ian
    No signs of the enemy in the area.
[21:28] ian
    We'll reach a safe distance soon.
[21:32] lune
    Grand Master Harold...
[21:48] yuki
    Full speed ahead.
[21:50] yuki
    We don't have time to stand still.

    Take us to State Capital Edinell!

    Huh? You do?
[04:30] anja
    You've got weird taste, lady.
[04:32] lily
    That's rude!
[04:34] lily
    People have always said,
    "Lily, your taste is unique!" in a good way!
[04:37] anja
    I don't think they meant
    that in a good way...
[04:41] lily
    H-Hey!
[04:42] lily
    I'm gonna tell your parents on you!
[04:47] anja
    You can't.
[04:51] gail
    An orphanage?
[04:53] stel
    I don't know if you could
    call it that, exactly...
[04:56] stel
    There's an elderly couple that's
    letting war orphans live with them.
[05:00] lily
    Um... I was wondering if we
    could bring them a pick-me-up.
[05:06] lily

[05:09] gail
    Bad?
[05:10] lily
    I said I was gonna tell the kid's parents...

[05:46] woman
    We accept it gratefully.
[05:48] woman
    We truly appreciate your kindness.
[05:50] gail
    Do you look after them all by yourselves?
[05:52] woman
    We didn't intend to, at first.
[05:56] woman
    But they just started coming,

    No, they're monsters!

[09:11] stel
    I've been searching for
    my place for a long time.

    There was no place for me with
    the family that raised me.
[10:00] (Flashback) woman
    Hey, you!
[10:01] (Flashback) woman
    You can't stay there.
[10:06] (Flashback) woman
    Do you have a problem with that?
[10:11] (Flashback) woman
    Just get going.
[10:28] stel
    I ended up in the army just to stay alive.
[10:32] stel
    So it's not really my place, either...
[10:36] lily
    Well, I wouldn't say the army
     is my place, either...
[10:42] lily
    But I feel like in this squad,
    with everyone... this is my place.
[10:48] stel
    Everyone?
[10:49] lily
    Remember Commander Gail before?
[10:51] lily
    "Make sure to get some sleep."
[10:53] lily
    "Maintenance will have us up all night."
[10:56] lily
    He sounded like a fussy old dad.
[11:00] lily
    Don't you think?
[11:02] stel
    Yes.
[11:03] lily
    Warrant Officer Break and
    Guy have their nice sides.
[11:07] lily
    Huey's a jerk, but I think every
    family has their black sheep!
[11:13] lily
    Plus I've always wanted a cool big sister!
[11:20] lily

    think of this squad as your place!
[11:28] lily
    You can't blow me off with
    that expression again!
[11:32] lily
    I'm being serious with you!
[11:38] stel
    I just...
[11:39] stel
    I'm not sure how to answer you...
[11:48] gail
    Don't stop working; just listen.
[11:50] gail
    We have our next marching orders.
[11:53] gail
    We'll meet up with an assault carrier
    120 kilometers to the south,
[11:57] gail
    just outside the State of Leo Tacrath.

    Finish your maintenance
    within the next two hours.

    do much but smile. Right?
[12:23] (Flashback) fb
    Were you one of those children, too?

    Humanity?

    In a way, the battlefield is

     shows their true nature.

    On the front lines, the toughest man you know
[13:26] gail

    There are many places exactly like that.

    Hey, focus on your driving, will you?

    And if we emphasize that it
    was Harold's final project,

    it should raise the soldiers' morale.

    Honestly... this is quite the
    plan you've come up with.
[11:56] yuki
    The crucial part is yet to come.
[11:59] lune
    If the Senate knew what
    we were really planning,

[12:03] yuni
    Yeah.
[12:05] yuni
    I can't believe Miss Layla
    approved such an outrageous plan.
[12:09] lay
    I knew how long Princess Yuki had
    been torturing herself over it.
[12:17] (Flashback) yuki
    Miss Layla, I've thought over again and again
[12:22] (Flashback) yuki
    that we should surrender to
    the Empire and end the war.
[12:27] (Flashback) yuki
    But... even if we end this particular war,
[12:31] (Flashback) yuki
    the same thing will happen again someday.
[12:35] (Flashback) yuki
    No... an even bigger war will take place,
[12:40] (Flashback) yuki
    and even more people might die.
[12:44] (Flashback) yuki
    So I...
[12:54] (Flashback) yuki
    I want to shut down all
    the chrars on the planet.
[13:04] (Flashback) lay
    That's the answer you've
    come to, Princess Yuki?
[13:09] (Flashback) lay
    I'm sorry to say, there's no way
    to make that happen from Soleil.
[13:16] (Flashback) lay
    But the data that Lord Izana
    sent us contained accounts
[13:21] (Flashback) lay
    of an experimental facility
    in the old Verde Empire.
[13:25] (Flashback) yuki
    An experimental facility?
[13:26] (Flashback) lay
    The scientists of Verde once
    had the same idea you did.
[13:32] (Flashback) lay
    They constructed a facility
    to put it into practice.
[13:37] (Flashback) lay
    At the time, they couldn't
    achieve their theorized result.
[13:43] (Flashback) lay
    But with the technology we have
    now, it might become possible.
[13:50] (Flashback) yuki
    Miss Layla. Help me.
[13:59] yuki
    Let's go over the plan one more time.
[14:02] yuki
    First, in accordance with my declaration,
[14:05] yuki
    James will head towards Hariant with the
    main force and the mobile artillery.
[14:10] yuki
    You should encounter the enemy
    somewhere in the State of North Robia.
[14:14] yuki
    Once they're in sight,
[14:15] yuki
    use the mobile artillery's range to fire
    a warning shot at their front line.
[14:19] yuki
    That will hold them in place.
[14:22] yuki
    Avoid an exchange of fire for as
    long as you can, and buy us time.
[14:26] yuki
    If the enemy commander
    knows what they're doing,
[14:28] yuki
    a display of power like that
    should give them pause.
[14:34] yuki
    But if they realize it's a
    hastily-prepared prototype...
[14:38] james
    Please.
[14:39] james
    I've bluffed them on the
    battlefield enough times before.
[14:43] james
    I'll make sure it works out.
[14:47] yuki
    In the meantime, Miss Layla and I
[14:50] yuki
    will slip through the State of Theras,
    then the State of Chrisant,
[14:53] yuki
    on the way to old Verde Empire territory.
[14:56] yuki
    To keep a low profile, our guard will
    be Yuni and Lune, and one other squad.
[15:02] yuki
    When we arrive at the experimental facility...
[15:05] yuki
    Then...
[15:15] lune
    Princess Yuki, I'm sure it will go well.
[15:18] yuni
    "Passion and will!" Right?
[15:29] lay
    You would not prefer to give it more time?
[15:33] yuki
    No... because I don't know
    if I'll ever make it back.
[15:39] yuki
    Elisa is holding off, because I
    said I would tell her myself...

    here to eat dinner today?

    Stay put for a while now, would you?

    Now passing through northern
    State of Chrisant.
[18:13] lune
    The territory of the old Empire
    of Verde should be in sight soon.
[18:16] yuni
    Don't let your guard down.
[18:18] lune
    You don't have to tell me that.
[18:21] yuki
    If Izana, Harold, and Joshua
    knew what I'm about to do...
[18:30] yuki
    Do you think they'd forgive me?
[18:34] yuki
    No matter what happens,
    I must accept sole responsibility.
[18:39] yuki
    Because this is the decision I've made.
[18:46] lay
    I've felt the same fear
    you have, Princess Yuki.
[18:53] lay
    When I lost my family in the
    accident twelve years ago,
[18:56] lay
    I was assailed by unfathomable loneliness.
[19:00] yuki
    Miss Layla...
[19:02] lay
    Even now, sometimes, when I look at you,
[19:04] lay
    I'm reminded of my daughter.
[19:07] yuki
    Your daughter?
[19:09] lay
    She was kind, and smiled, just like you.
[19:21] yuki
    Miss Layla... how did you get
    past the fear you felt then?
[19:27] lay
    Your smile, Princess Yuki.
[19:43] lay
    Your smile has a mysterious power.
[19:47] lay
    That power that envelops
    people... it saved me.
[19:54] lay
    And that's when I decided...
[19:56] lay
    that no matter what happened, I would
    remain by that smile to the end.
[20:03] yuki
    Miss Layla...
[20:05] lay
    If all the chrars are shut down,
[20:07] lay
    the people will face
    hardship like never before.
[20:11] lay
    That's when your role will truly begin.
[20:20] yuki
    I will make my kingdom...
[20:25] yuki
    I will make everyone on this planet smile!
[20:33] lay
    Yuki.
[20:38] yuki
    If Mother had lived, do you think
    she would have done this for me?
[20:43] lay
    Of course.

    You go on. We'll hold them off.

[03:47] eine
    Where was she sighted?
[03:49] aide
    Put it on.
[03:53] eine
    That region...
[03:54] eine
    Going north would take them to the
    experimental facility in the Empire of Verde.
[03:59] aide
    Indeed.
[04:00] eine
    If it really could shut down chrars at will,
[04:04] eine
    its military value would be incalculable.
[04:06] eine
    That is why our empire did
    not dismantle the facility.
[04:11] aide
    At the emperor's command, of course.
[04:14] eine
    If the Kingdom has the
    technology to activate it,
[04:19] eine
    and they're able to stop
    only our army's chrars...

[06:32] lay
    We're hooking up the new chrars units.

    Based on the data Lord Izana sent us,

    I matched the unit model to the old
    Imperial standard before we left.

    That's just what someone
    raised in a palace would say.

    their lives crawling in the dirt?

    Stop the chrars, you say?

    Not everyone can endure a life like that!

    But...
[16:13] stel
    somewhere in my heart, I've been

    Please help her... Help Yuki.
[16:31] yuki
    With passion and will, we can do anything.
[16:35] yuki
    That's something...
    someone I loved always said to me.

    I don't care if everyone
    in the world hates me.
[16:43] yuki
    I... I still...
[16:55] stel
    What do I do? To make a world...

    Where they can smile...
[17:04] stel
    If it's really possible to
    make something like that...
[17:14] stel
    This will really shut them down?
[17:17] yuki
    Why...
[17:18] stel

    said something to me, too:
[17:21] stel
    "See them through."
